Yigal Tumarkin (Hebrew: יגאל תומרקין) (also Igael Tumarkin) (born 1933) is an Israeli painter and sculptor.[1] Peter Martin Gregor Heinrich Hellberg (later Yigal Tumarkin) was born in Dresden, Germany. His father, Martin Hellberg, was a German theater actor and director. His mother, Berta Gurevitch and his stepfather, Herzl Tumarkin, immigrated to Mandate Palestine when he was two.[2] Tumarkin served in the Israeli Navy. After completing his military service, he studied sculpture in Ein Hod, a village of artists near Mount Carmel. His youngest son is actor Yon Tumarkin.[3][4] Among Tumarkin's best known works are the Holocaust memorial in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv and his sculptures commemorating fallen soldiers in the Negev.[5] Tumarkin is also a theoretician and stage designer. In the 1950s, Tumarkin worked in East Berlin, Amsterdam, and Paris. Upon his return to Israel in 1961, he became a driving force behind the break from the charismatic monopoly of lyric abstraction there. Tumarkin created assemblages of found objects, generally with violent Expressionist undertones and decidedly unlyrical color. His determination to "be different" influenced his younger Israeli colleagues. The furor generated around Tumarkin's works, such as the old pair of trousers stuck to one of his pictures, intensified the mystique surrounding him.[6][7][8] Born in Dresden, Germany, in 1933. Immigrated at the age of two, with his mother, who married Herzl Tumarkin. He was raised in Tel Aviv and Bat Yam. In 1954 he studied with Rudi Lehman, in Ein Hod. In 1955 went to Berlin to work as a scenographer for Bertolt Brecht and the Berliner Ensemble. In 1956 returned to Israel and created his first iron sculpture, inspired by Dantziger: two owls sitting atop each other. In the following years started creating sculptures from different scraps and iron, which he defines "Absurd creations - archeology in present time." In 1961 went to the Negev region and built models of landscape sculptures. In 1962 traveled to Japan and the US to study Japanese painting techniques. A year later returned to Israel and created his Dessert sculptures in Arad and Dimona. He then began sculpting using weapons and their different parts (like his famous Hu Halach Basadot - He Walked the Fields, from 1967). He also created several notable monuments such as the PeaceMonument in Lod, constructed from tank parts, and the famous Holocaust Memorial in Rabin Square. In 2004 he received the prestigious Pras Yisrael (Israel Prize) for art. Yigal Tumarkin is an Israeli painter and sculptor, born in Dresden, Germany. He is a multi-faceted artist whose works include sculpture, painting, sketching, graphics and stage design. In 2004 he was awarded the Israel Prize. Tumarkin built the memorial sculpture commemorating the Holocaust located in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. The sculpture is shaped like an inverted pyramid (standing on its tip) and is made of rusted iron and glass. Tumarkin began creating his sculptures from weapons parts, polyester castings and figures of human limbs. He also created additional memorials, such as the "Peace Memorial" in Lod, which is made of tank and weapons parts that were "beaten into plowshares", as well as the sculpture garden at Moshav Burgeta. The sculpture "Galioractor III" was donated to Ruppin and placed at the main entrance of the Ruppin campus. "I was deeply moved by the metal sculptures of the young Gonzales Vesazar. I love scrap iron and remnants of technology from the early machine age. They tell stories about society and history", he explains. Inspired by Yitzhak Danziger, Tumarkin created his first iron sculpture in 1956 - two owls sitting one atop the other as a symbol of wisdom, for the "Hamedora Club". Igael Tumarkin was born in 1933 in Dresden, Germany, and immigrated to Palestine in 1935. He studied with Rudi Lehman in Ein Hod.

The Israel Prize for sculpture in 2004 will be awarded to sculptor Yigal Tumarkin. Minister of Education Limor Livnat on Monday phoned Tumarkin to notify him of his winning the award. Shas Chairman MK Eli Yishai on Monday called on Livnat to reconsider awarding the prize to Tumarkin. Yishai said the sculptor treated Jewish values harshly, and thus deserved "a mark of disgrace and not a reward." When asked if he was surprised that he was chosen to receive the prize, he said "I'm always surprised when a good deed is done. Everyone is always against me. There is a policy of narrowing my steps, my work…" Tumarkin was asked if he intended to receive the prize in a formal national ceremony, and said "of course. I think that if there is a sculptor in Israel who deserves to receive this prize, it me, and has been for a while, since the 1970's, and it's very tragic that I need to praise myself. It was only for my big mouth that I was put at the bottom of the list of candidates." Members of the prize committee, which included Abraham Ronen, John Bail and Esther Levinger, said they awarded the prize to Tumarkin for his "diverse artistic vocabulary" and "command of various artistic techniques." "[Tumarkin's] sculptures include some of the most important and original contributions in the field of monumental art and represents a central contribution to Israeli art," they said.   TUMARKIN 7
