ABOUT SISSMAN GALLERY

Founded in 1997 in Tel Aviv, Sissman Gallery has been a trusted name in the secondary art market, specializing in Israeli art, École de Paris, and classic modern international art. Established by Joseph Sissman, the gallery has built its reputation by showcasing exhibitions of notable artists such as Kadishman, Tumarkin, Lifshitz, Kupferman, as well as international figures like Christo and Picasso (etchings).

​

The gallery facilitated the sale of significant artworks, among them an original sculpture of “The Thinker” by Rodin, the 78 original gouaches of the Tarot cards by Salvador Dalí, important original paintings by Chagall and Soutine, as well as works by Picasso, Fernand Léger and many others.

​

With over two decades of experience, we are proud to have worked with a wide array of collectors, offering expert guidance and access to an exceptional selection of artworks. Our commitment to quality and authenticity has made Sissman Gallery a cornerstone of the art community in Israel and beyond.

​

Since 2015, Sissman Gallery has shifted its focus to consulting and art management. For the first time, it now operates internationally from Toronto, Canada, under the direction of Ben Sissman.
