The Helena Rubinstein Foundation has contributed $100,-000 to the America – Israel Cultural Foundation for the expansion of the. Tel Aviv Art Museum, it was announced here this weekend by Samuel Rubin, president of the cultural organization. Mrs. Rubinstein is honorary chairman of the Cultural Foundation’s board of directors.
In 1959, Mme. Rubinstein made a contribution which enabled the museum in Tel Aviv to open a pavilion, named for her, where contemporary art is exhibited. About 50 exhibits, with emphasis on the work of new Israeli artists, are shown there every year. However, the facility, only recently completed, has been found too small according to Mr. Rubin. The Tel Aviv Art Museum is part of a group of buildings at Tel Aviv housing the Mann Auditorium, home of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Habimah Theatre, which, like the museum, are also beneficiaries of the America Israel Cultural Foundation.
