.-The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Foundation, which has been awarding an annual prize of approximately $120,000 to two artists since 2006, has decided, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, to reconfigure the prize this year as a dedicated $250,000 fund for the purchase of art works.
The art works will be purchased for the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Israeli Art Collection at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, which comprises works by Rappaport Award winners over the years, and will be on display at a special exhibition to be opened at the Museum in August 2021.
