Watts, Magda "The Design Team". Magda Watts (1929) was born in Hungary and was sent to Auschwitz at the age of 15. After becoming sick and unfit for labor, she started creating dolls from rags, which ended up saving her life. After immigrating to Israel, she continued making dolls and established a doll museum that relates the story of the Jewish Nation. Her dolls are recognized as Judaica and have become well-known throughout the world and exhibited in many exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Offered is a wonderful example of Watts' whimsy. Here 3 Jewish men are standing around a table, obviously the architect, the foreman, and the carpenter, with smokes, soda, and tools at hand. Absolutely joyous! 14 x 17 x 11" in excellent condition, one of her larger creations and signed on underside, plus her small name plate. Estimate $1,000 - 1,500
