Caprice Art Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in November 2012 in Tel Aviv, Israel.[1] The gallery was originally located in Beit Eshel, Jaffa and managed by sisters Alexandra and Anna Lewin.[2] In April 2014, it relocated to Frishman 42, Tel-Aviv.[3] It presents work from both established and emerging artists and focuses on the use of art as a medium of cultural exchange. Caprice Art Gallery is currently[when?] owned and managed by Alexandra Lewin; Dorielle Lonke is the head of sales and exhibitions.[4]

The gallery’s maiden exhibition was titled “From Tehran to Tel-Aviv: Fragmented Reflections”. This exhibition featured photographs by Iranian artists alongside Israeli interpretations thereof. The Iranian photographers were asked to capture images of people, moments or places that provided a glimpse into their world; Israelis then produced artistic interpretations of these pictures that were displayed alongside the original photographs.[5] Subsequent exhibitions include “Sticks and Stones”, featuring the gouache paintings of Daphna Alon,[6] and “Live Writing”, presenting the observational paintings of Larissa Miller.[7] In May 2016, it presented the exhibition "From Holocaust to Revival and Creation", by Heddy Kun.
