Archie Rand discusses his monumental work The 613 during the Members' opening of The 613 by Archie Rand at The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco.
The 613 is a major painting project by Archie Rand presented at The CJM in its museum debut and first appearance outside New York City. In traditional Jewish texts 613 rules for ethical and religious behavior are asked of all Jews. Rand’s exhibition includes one painting for each one of the 613; they are acrylic on canvas paintings (20 x 16 in.) arranged in a huge grid comprising 1700 square feet. At the special invitation of CJM Executive Director Lori Starr, a new painting by Rand, Zachor (To remember and not forget), on what some consider to be number 614: never forget, is included in the exhibition, displayed separately in the gallery.
