Vaadia's sculptures have been acquired by museums and collectors all over the world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a stone figure, “Shani,”; Time Warner Center in New York features the sculpture “Asaf and Yo'ah” as a permanent installation; “Asa & Yehoshafat” is permanently installed at the Independence Park in Tel Aviv; and numerous other sculptures can currently be found in public and private spaces worldwide. Vaadia still does all of his sculpting himself, and resists the pull of new technologies that would enable mass production – other than the limited-edition bronze castings of his original stone works.
