Rising, Abstract sculpture in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Uprise is a geometric metal sculpture that rises vertically from the ground, with angular forms creating different visual perspectives as you move around it. The structure consists of layered elements stacked together to form a dynamic composition reaching upward.

Menashe Kadishman made a granite version of the composition in 1964, and a smaller related work, Three Discs, was installed in Toronto in 1967. The corten steel Uprise was placed in the Habima complex in 1974, on the south side of the parking lot facing Rothschild Boulevard. It was removed in 2007 for construction of an underground parking garage and returned in April 2010.

Kadishman made an earlier granite version in 1964, and a smaller yellow-painted related work, "Three Discs", was installed in Toronto in 1967. The Tel Aviv piece is known in Hebrew as "Hitromemut" (Rising) and stands beside Habima Theatre, where it has become a meeting point on Rothschild Boulevard.

The work stands in an open public space where you can walk around it and observe how light and shadow play across its surfaces. Visit from different angles to experience how the sculpture changes its appearance throughout the day.

Kadishman made an earlier granite version of the same composition in 1964, and a smaller related piece, "Three Discs", was installed in Toronto in 1967, painted bright yellow rather than left in weathering steel. The Tel Aviv work itself dates from 1974 and was returned to the site in April 2010 after the underground car park was built.
