March 5 - June 22, 2008 Fifty five highly intricate papercuts for a Passover Haggadah by virtuoso artist Archie Granot, specially commissioned for a private collection. Combining complex geometric motifs with Hebrew text, the multi-layered papercuts are technically amazing and visually stunning. Granot lives in Jerusalem; his work is featured in the collections of the Jewish Museum, New York, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
