GrablyGlobal Academic

GrablyGlobal Academic is the scholarly arm of our organisation, dedicated to the rigorous study, preservation, and promotion of Ehud Grably's artistic legacy. Our mission is to ensure that Grably's contributions to late twentieth-century art are recognised, understood, and celebrated within the broader context of art history. Our Key Initiatives at GrablyGlobal Academic are as follows:

Catalogue Raisonné | Unveiling a Hidden Master

We are currently in the process of compiling the first official comprehensive Catalogue Raisonné of Ehud Grably's artworks, meticulously documenting and authenticating his entire oeuvre comprising of two hundred and sixty original Grably artworks in the GrablyGlobal Gonen-Schulman private family collection. This double-volume work, that will ultimately span approximately 1,800 pages, will serve as the definitive resource for scholars, collectors, and art enthusiasts insofar as the work and the life and times of Ehud Grably is concerned. GrablyGlobal is spearheading an unprecedented project in art history, the compilation of the first official comprehensive Catalogue Raisonné of Ehud Grably's works. This monumental undertaking is not simply a documentation of art, but a potential redefinition of late twentieth-century Israeli art history. Through our meticulous research and documentation, we are building a compelling case for Ehud Grably as one of the most overlooked late twentieth-century Israeli masters in art history. This Catalogue Raisonné aims to bring Grably’s artistic genius to light and secure his rightful place in the Global artistic canon. Our research thus far strongly suggests that Grably may very well be the progenitor of “Ontological Abstraction,” a previously unarticulated artistic movement. Grably’s first official Catalogue Raisonné will present evidence and analysis supporting this groundbreaking claim, potentially rewriting our understanding of abstract art's evolution. Grably's Catalogue Raisonné is meticulously documenting and authenticating his entire oeuvre, comprising two hundred and sixty original artworks from the GrablyGlobal private family collection. This exhaustive inventory spans Grably's career from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. This double-volume work, when complete will represent one of the most comprehensive single-artist studies in recent art history. It will serve as the definitive resource for scholars, collectors, and art enthusiasts interested in Ehud Grably's life and work. In a pioneering approach, the drafting of Grably's Catalogue Raisonné represents an unprecedented collaboration between human expertise and artificial intelligence. This synergy of human insight and AI capabilities allows for deeper analysis, pattern recognition, and connections that might otherwise remain undiscovered. Ehud Grably’s first official Catalogue Raisonné goes beyond the mere cataloguing of artworks. It will ultimately include over one hundred and forty peer-reviewed scholarly essays exploring Grably's life, artistic evolution, and his significant contributions to late twentieth-century art. By placing Grably's work within the broader context of Israeli and international art movements, his first official Catalogue Raisonné aims to reshape our understanding of the artistic landscape in the late twentieth-century. As the definitive resource on Grably's work, his Catalogue Raisonné has the potential to spark a re-evaluation of late twentieth-century art history, inspiring new research, exhibitions, and appreciation for Grably's contributions. Through this groundbreaking Catalogue Raisonné project, GrablyGlobal aims to not only document Ehud Grably's artistic legacy but also to catalyse a paradigm shift in how we perceive and study overlooked artists. It stands as a testament to the power of combining traditional art historical methods with cutting-edge technology, potentially setting a new standard for artistic research, art historical studies, and art documentation in the twenty-first century.

Studies in “Ontological Abstraction” | Redefining Late 

Twentieth-Century Art History

GrablyGlobal is leading the academic discourse on Grably's posthumously articulated art movement, called “Ontological Abstraction,” analysing its philosophical underpinnings and its place within the broader context of abstract art in the late twentieth-century. GrablyGlobal is spearheading groundbreaking research into Ehud Grably's posthumously articulated art movement, known as “Ontological Abstraction.” This pioneering academic discourse has the potential to reshape our understanding of late twentieth-century abstract art and philosophical approaches to creativity. The academic study of “Ontological Abstraction” represents the discovery and definition of a previously unrecognised and unarticulated art movement. These studies have the potential to fill a crucial gap in our understanding of the evolution of abstract art in the late twentieth-century. By analysing the philosophical underpinnings of “Ontological Abstraction,” we are exploring the intersection of art and existential thought. This could provide new insights into how artists of Grably's era grappled with questions of being, existence, and perception. The study of Grably’s “Ontological Abstraction” necessitates an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together art history, philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies. This cross-pollination of ideas could spark new methodologies in art analysis and criticism. By placing “Ontological Abstraction” within the broader context of abstract art, GrablyGlobal is potentially redrawing the map of artistic movements in the late twentieth-century. This could lead to a re-evaluation of other artists and works from the same period. Understanding Grably’s “Ontological Abstraction” could provide valuable insights for contemporary artists, potentially influencing new approaches to abstract art and conceptual creativity. As an Israeli artist, Grably's development of “Ontological Abstraction” offers a unique perspective on the cultural and societal influences shaping art in Israel and the broader Middle East during this period. This study aims to secure Grably's place in art history, potentially elevating him from an overlooked figure to a recognised innovator and thought leader in abstract art. The academic exploration of “Ontological Abstraction” may yield new analytical tools and frameworks for understanding and interpreting abstract art, benefiting the broader field of art history and criticism. By introducing “Ontological Abstraction” to the global art community, GrablyGlobal is fostering international dialogue and collaboration, potentially leading to new perspectives on the global nature of art movements. The study of “Ontological Abstraction” could enrich art education curricula, providing students with a new lens through which to understand the development of abstract art and its philosophical implications. Through these studies, GrablyGlobal is not simply illuminating the work of one artist, but potentially rewriting a chapter in art history. The recognition and analysis of “Ontological Abstraction” as a distinct art movement could have far-reaching implications for our understanding of late twentieth-century art, the philosophical underpinnings of creativity, and the ongoing evolution of abstract expression. This research stands to make a significant contribution to the field of art history and to elevate Ehud Grably's status as a visionary artist and thinker.
