In 1959, he moved to London, where he attended Saint Martin's School of Art. And the Slade School of Art. During 1959 and 1960 he also studied with Anthony Caro. He remained here until 1972; he had his first one-man show there in 1965 at the Grosvenor Gallery. His sculptures of the 1960s were Minimalist. In style, and so designed as to appear to defy gravity. This was achieved either through careful balance and construction, as in Suspense (1966), or by using glass and metal so that the metal appeared unsupported, as in Segments (1968).

The glass allowed the environment to be part of the work. Kadishman lived and created in his house in the city center of Tel Aviv. Kadishman was divorced, has 2 children.

His son, Ben, is also a painter and his daughter, Maya Kadishman, is an actress who is married to the artist, Eran Shakine.

In his youth, between 1950 and 1953, Kadishman worked as a shepherd.

This experience with nature, sheep and shepherding had a significant impact on his later artistic work and career. The first major appearance of sheep in his work was in the 1978 Venice Biennale. Where Kadishman presented a flock of colored live sheep as living art. In 1995, he began painting portraits.
