Tirtza Ariel, the widow of the singer, songwriter and artist Meir Ariel, is offering for sale on Facebook about 80 of his original drawings. The price per work is 1,000 shekels, and the sale is immediate. The post, published by her daughter Shiraz on her mother's behalf, includes a phone number for coordinating pickup from Pardes Hanna. The drawings have been carefully preserved, and examples are attached with notes on different creative periods, such as the Tel Aviv period (1986-1999) and the Mishmarot period. The sale joins a series of past sales of items from Ariel's estate, who passed away in 1999. Among other items, a handwritten translation of the first verse of Bob Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man' was sold for $300, and three handwritten drafts of a 1993 article were sold for $850. The family continues memorial activities, including tribute performances, publishing books, and naming streets after him.
