This contemporary 2007 artwork is from The Barr Foundation Judaica’s collection of antique and contemporary torah pointers. The pointer is made of ebony, copper, and silver, and the stand is made of copper, silver, and resin.
The piece was exhibited in The Breman Museum’s 2023 The Guiding Hand exhibition. The Breman’s visiting curator of digital art Joel Silverman is digitizing objects from this collection for interactive display. 3D scanning in museum collections serves as a guardian of cultural legacy by crafting precise, enduring replicas. This technology revolutionizes public access to the world’s artistic heritage, transcending geographical barriers to bring rare works available via immersive digital platforms and redefining the museum archives experience.
