In the inner-city of Tel Aviv (since June … Read entire article »

Unique sketch by Kees van Dongen found at Music Center in TLV

January 21st, 2010 | 1 Comment

An original sketch by the Dutch painter Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) of the pianist Felicja Blumental was discovered, a few weeks ago, in the Felicja Blumental Music Center (Bialik Square, Tel Aviv). While at a Beethoven festival featuring a solo performance of Felicja Blumental with the Pasdeloup Orchestra, conducted by Heinrich Hollreiser, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris on the 27th of September 1959, Kees van Dongen, a closed friend of the artist, sketched her portrait on the concert poster and presented it to her. … Read entire article »

Our editor Frits in the media again: Dutch radio

May 27th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Flavius, a Dutch ‘current historic magazine’ of the Joodse Omroep (Jewish Broadcasting Company), has made a radio report a few weeks ago with Tel Aviv Fever editor Frits de Wit. It will be broadcasted in The Netherlands (Dutch only) and will be available online after the broadcast: Radio 5, Sunday May 31st, 19:30-20:30 local time. Maybe we’ll be able to make you a (shortened?) transcript. The for us most important two subjects are on Tel Aviv and Tel Aviv Only: Frits is touring the reporter through Tel Aviv and talking about architecture and Bauhaus architecture particulary and architect Herman Hertzberger talks about his not realized development plans for Tel Aviv. That is what Frits says all the time: “Tel Aviv architecture is way cool!” … Read entire article »

Renovation a matter of taste?

April 28th, 2009 | 1 Comment

From where do this restoration/renovation architects in Tel-Aviv (at least a part of them) received this horrible ‘ taste’?? On the Ben-Jehuda Street no. 8, you will find the famous Hershberg House, designed in 1926 by Joseph Berlin. Berlin was born in 1877 in the Ukraine. He studied architecture in Odessa and in St.Petersburg. He emigrated to Palestine in 1921. His early buildings are largely in silicate stone and reminicent of Berlage‘s, the Dutch architect from Amsterdam (!), brick buildings. In 1998/99 the  Hershberg House was restored and the restoration architect thought it was ‘proper’ to add an aluminium floor on top of this historic building. A ‘matter of taste”. … Read entire article »

‘Sharona’, the ‘Templar’ houses in Tel-Aviv

April 15th, 2009 | Comments Off

On Thursday, April 21st 2005 , it was the first time in history that a group of houses were ‘moved’ 20 meters!! This fantastic job was done by the Dutch ‘Mammoet‘ company to widen the Kaplan-street. The 5 houses were a part of Tel Aviv’s German ‘Templars’ Colony in ‘Sharona‘ that was established in 1871. The transfer of the 5 houses, at a cost of $10 million was done under the supervision of restoration-architect Amnon Bar-Or. Before the ‘move’ (street on wheels) the windows were reinforced and inforcments were placed in the structures itself. There were sensors placed in places where were cracks (painted red on the building ). If a crack would widen, a warning would have been sounded. A basement was build in the new location, on which … Read entire article »

Thank you, Ha’aretz!!

April 3rd, 2009 | Comments Off

Three years ago, I wrote on my Facebook pages Architecture of Tel-Aviv 1909-1948, that it ‘was about time’ that the muncipality of Tel Aviv was naming a important street or square in the name of Jacobus Kann, a Dutch banker from The Hague, who purchased the land for the Ahuzat Bayit association, because the Turkish law stated that Jewish subjects were prohibited to buy plots in the ‘holy land’. I was very happy to see an article about Jacobus Kann in the Ha’aretz Daily (April 3rd, 2009). Quite funny that a member of the Tel Aviv city council in charge of the ‘municipalty naming commitee’ never heard of Jacobus Kann and that she doesn’t recall that Kann was “one of the founders” of the city. (next time, try Google, dear!). By … Read entire article »
