Origin: "Debel" gallery, Jerusalem. Early in the 1980s "Debel" gallery held two exhibitions of paintings and design-sketches by Raban (from the years 1915-1940). This was the first time since the establishment of the State of Israel, that Raban's works were exhibited in a comprehensive, retrospective exhibition.
