Biography
Arad was born in Tel Aviv in 1956. Arad studied art at the Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv in 1978–1982.
His work is in collections of a number of museums, including the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.[2]
In 2003, Arad was a recipient of a Prize for the "Encouragement of Creative Art", awarded by the Israeli Ministry of Education and Culture.[3]
Controversy
On February 1, 2018, the Israeli news portal Mako reported that Boaz Arad was under investigation for alleged sexual relationships with female students at the Thelma Yellin School of Art in Givatayim where he taught from 1983 until 2006. The article included an interview with one of the students, who related that the relationship started when she was 16 and lasted for four years, partly after she graduated from the school. She said that she knew about other female students who had had relationships with Arad. According to the report, Arad asked the student to keep the relationship secret and when she reached 18, she moved in with him. After the story was published, Arad was contacted by Mako and confirmed he had had relationships with the women indicated in the report, but denied the fact they started while the women were students in the school. He also complained that from the moment the story broke out, he had no reason to live, leading to Mako asking the police to check on him.[4] The police briefly detained Arad, but later released him, stating his life was not in danger.
Death
On Friday morning, February 2, 2018, Arad's body was found hanging in the garden of his home. Israeli police said his death was being treated as a suicide.[5] He was 61.
On July 26, 2018 Mako issued an apology clarifying that at no point was it their intention to claim that Arad was involved at any time in a forced or non-consensual relations.[6]
