Catalogue Note
The youngest of three generations of silversmiths, Boaz Yemini was born in Jerusalem in 1956. In keeping with family tradition, Boaz joined Bezalel's metalwork department where he was influenced by innovative and cutting edge Western design. Boaz's works depart from his Yeminite affiliations, and show an inclination towards surrealistic, organic and fluid forms.
