Mayanot Gallery, Jerusalem
Established in 1986, the Mayanot Gallery, located on King George Street in Jerusalem's historic gallery district, showcases a diverse range of artworks including paintings, graphic arts, sculpture, and photography by both classic and contemporary Israeli artists.
The gallery's name, "Mayanot", meaning "wellsprings" or "sources" in Hebrew, reflects owner Yael Gahnassia's belief that all the works displayed in her gallery are interconnected, whether ancient or modern. Therefore, all the creations are complementary, responding to each other; the biblical illustrations of Zeev Raban, for instance, interact with Pinchas Litvinovsky's explosions of colors. With years of experience and credibility among art collectors, Yael aims to provide her clients with the finest selection of artworks.
While online platforms may offer convenience, Yael asserts that galleries like Mayanot provide assurance of quality and authenticity. By personally selecting each artwork, she ensures that her clients receive only the best creations from the artists she champions. Recently, Yael has developed an appreciation for photography and has embraced photographers with the same enthusiasm and dedication as she has for other forms of art.
