Ruth Selinger, born Shapirovsky in Haifa, played an essential role alongside her husband, the sculptor Shelomo Selinger. She met Shelomo in 1951 and married him in 1954. In 1955, the couple settled in Paris, where they lived and worked together.<\/p>\n
Ruth actively participated in the accomplishment and preservation of her husband\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
She was notably behind the lettering of the Selinger monument in front of the city of La Muette in Drancy. She made many photographs of the sculptures, intended for the archives, and took care of the workshop by ensuring the maintenance, the repertory and the enhancement of the works.<\/p>\n
Throughout their life together, Ruth and Shelomo formed a true duo.<\/p>\n
Since April 9, 2025, an exhibition dedicated to the art of Shelomo Selinger is pres\u00ab I owe him a lot.<\/p>\n
Thanks to her, I moved forward despite the difficulties. With her, I built a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

A role that she had held from the beginning of Shelomo\u2019s vocation as an artist, and which she kept throughout her career and their life together.<\/p>\n
