The concept underlying the exhibition Never Looked Better —introducing a current reading of Leni and Herbert Sonnenfeld’s unique vision by contemporary artists — poses a challenge of exploration to the Israeli audience, compelling viewers to look through and beyond the visible image. The interpretations offered by artists Yael Bartana, Michael Blum, Ilya Rabinovich, Yochai Avrahami, Yossi Attia and Itamar Rose are innovative and variegated, offering the viewer the excitement and thrill experienced by the Sonnenfelds as they witnessed the actual events or participated in them, in real time.
