About The brand
Making Art since 1962
Frank Meisler is a world-renowned fine-art gallery located in Old Jaffa's Historic seaside artists' quarter. For nearly a half century the gallery has been designing and manufacturing unique high-end metal sculptures.
The sculptures are kinetic, configured to allow for movement and surprise. They all undergo a meticulous hand-crafted process with the utmost respect to details. Our team of dedicated artisans have lovingly created handcrafted sculptures for over 50 years.
Today the Designer and Artist Marit Meisler, Frank’s daughter, continues his legacy and is the owner and the lead artist of the Gallery and the Atelier.
As a well-respected designer and artist in her own right, Ms. Meisler has created new and unique collections as an on-going dialogue with her father’s legacy. She incorporates references to his thematic range by referencing his technical processes, subject matters and acclaim.
