Sommer Contemporary Art

Sommer Contemporary Art is a Contemporary Art gallery, owned by Irit Fine Sommer, and based on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1]

The gallery is considered to be among the most influential in Israel for contemporary art.[2] It was first opened in a small space on Rothschild 64 in 1999. Since its opening the purpose of the gallery was the promotion of contemporary Israeli artists in the international art scene, as well as representing and exhibiting leading international artists in Israel and abroad.[3][4] In November 2005 the gallery moved to a new space on Rothschild 13, in one of the historic buildings of Tel Aviv.[5] Sommer Contemporary Art is representing such artists as Adi Nes, Thomas Zipp, Greogor Hildebrandt, Wilhelm Sasnal and Wolfgang Tillmans.[6][7]
