Palombo, David (Israeli 1920-1966), Freestanding Room Screen, rod iron and industrial glass, 78 x 44 x 21 inches, with an attached label S. Gabai Jerusalem to base. This screen was executed by S. Gabi from a design conceived before Palombo's premature death in 1966. Palombo’s early works, in the 1950s, were influenced by modernist sculptors such as Brancusi. These works were composed of abstract images from nature and were carved out of stone or wood. At the end of the 1950s he began making metal sculptors, using the technique of welding. His work took on a more abstract and expressive character. Among his famous works are the entrance gates to the Yizkor Tent in Yad Vashem and the old entrance gates to the Knesset. In good condition.
