Mordechai Omen: 'Menashe Kadishman was born in Tel Aviv in 1932, and began his artistic career in the early sixties as a minimalist sculptor in London and become a pioneer of conceptual art in the late sixties. His work from this period was well-represented at the 1971-72 show at the Haus Lange Museum in Krefeld. An important international indication of the artist's need to bring n nature back into the museum halls was made by Kadishman at the 1978 Venice Biennial in his appearance as a 'shepherd' with live sheep.'
