FUTURE PUBLICATION ZACHOR... "Remember what Amalek did to you...." ABEL PANN (1883-1963) Since 1987, Mayanot Gallery promotes, exhibits and publishes the works of Abel Pann. A color catalogue was printed in 1987, followed by the publication of the two editions of FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES in 1987 and 1996.

ZACHOR will contain Pann’s works from 1914-18 in remembrance of the pogroms and expulsion of Jews who lived along the Russo-German border and were suspected of collaborating with the Germans. The artist focused on these events in a series of pastels which in part were recreated in lithographs in the 1920s. This series was first named "By Order of the Czar" but was changed in the 1920s to "Vale of Tears" then "River of Tears."

Pann series of works on the Jewish Holocaust in World War II are part of the Yad Vashem collection in Jerusalem, and the series on pogroms is part of the Israel Musem collection in Jerusalem.
