Catalogue Note
"A maker of all types of Judaica for 37 years, Harold Rabinowitz works in Malverne, New York. He began making jewelry as a child. In 1979, he became a Fellow at the Tobe Pascher Workshop, and under the tutelage of Ludwig Wolpert began to make Judaica and other types of objects in a contemporary idiom. Working directly with Wolpert gave him a solid foundation, and he recalls the moment 17 years ago when his work took on its own character, becoming "more Rabinowitz." He sees his metalwork as sculpture that has a ritual function." Elisabeth R. Agro, Carnegie Museum of Art, on the museum website
