Biography
Audrey Bergner was born in Sydney and grew up in Melbourne. In 1950, she immigrated to Israel with her partner, the artist Yosl Bergner. They initially settled in Kibbutz Gvat, but left the kibbutz for Tel Aviv. After her marriage to Bergner, they moved to Safed. In the 1960s, they returned to Tel Aviv. [1] [2]
Bergner's themes are nature and Israel's Bedouin minority. She has illustrated books and created theater backdrops and costumes for a number of plays, among them Itzik Manger's Megilla Lieder (1965) and Hanoch Levin's Neurei Vardaleh (1974). [3] [4] She worked with playwright and theater director Nissim Aloni on Doda Liza (1969), performed by Habima, and Sa'ir Ehad La'azazel (1973) and Tzayia Yatza Latzud Batzad (1979), mounted by the Cameri Theater. Bergner lived in Tel Aviv-Yafo. [5] She died on 9 May 2022 and was buried in Kibbutz Einat cemetery.
Audrey Bergner's works can be found in public spaces including "Characters in the Desert" from 1983, displayed on Mount Scopus Campus while another of the series is displayed in the General Reading Room of the National Library in Jerusalem. [6]
