David Kalderon:

In 1935 when “the New Bezalel” opened in Jerusalem,

it did not intend to include a ceramics department.

Yet in 1958 the academy acquired the “Beit HaMelakha”

ceramics studio where artist David Kalderon was working.

He had originally been trained in Yugoslavia before emigrating to Israel.

When “Beit HaMelakha” was acquired by Bezalel, Kalderon became

a teacher of sculpture, where he worked alongside Pnina Amir,

Maude Friedlander andGedula Schweig-Ogen.

Today his works are highly collectible.
