Menashe Kadishman is one of Israel’s most renowned painters and sculptors. He began his career as a minimalist sculptor in the early 1960s and became a leading conceptual artist later that decade. In 1967, he took first prize for sculpture at the Paris Biennale. It was at the 1978 Venice Biennale that what was to become Kadishman’s trademark image, the sheep, first drew attention, when he presented a flock of live, painted sheep as living art. In 1995, he received the Israel Prize.
