Yaacov Agam
Influenced by his upbringing in Judaism as well as the teachings of the Bauhaus, Yaacov Agam is a pioneer of kinetic art as well as the Op art movement and is often credited with introducing geometric abstraction to his home country of Israel.
Born in Rishon LeZion, Palestine — now part of Israel — the son of a rabbi, Agam found that the spiritual world had a major influence on his art practice, as did the sand dunes he grew up watching as they constantly shifted with the wind. This perpetual movement would inform his work, whereby riveting, prismatic compositions that transform from different perspectives, patterns that generate optical effects and sculptures that move with a passing breeze all reflect the gradual changes in nature.
Agam studied with Israeli painter Mordecai Ardon at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem in the 1940s before traveling to Zurich where he trained with Swiss Expressionist painter Johannes Itten and was inspired by the abstract work of Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky.
One of the innovative techniques Agam developed was the Agamograph, which uses lenticular printing so that multiple images, which are revealed as the viewer moves around the piece, can be seen on a single work. His art has regularly involved the spectator as a participant, whether it’s the 1972–74 room-size kinetic installation he created for the Elysée Palace that’s now in the Centre Pompidou in which a gleaming abstract sculpture is surrounded on all sides by polychromatic lines or it’s public art like the 1986 Fire and Water Fountain in Tel Aviv with circles of vibrant panels that offer varying colors from every angle.
In 2018, the Yaacov Agam Museum of Art opened in Rishon LeZion, showcasing six decades of Agam’s influential work that engages with perception through color, shape and form, from paintings, prints and installations to new experiments in interactive digital art.

Price Upon Request - 'Black Undulation' Kinetic Art, PVC and Plexiglass SculptureBy Jose MargulisLocated in Rye, NY‘Black Undulation’ is an abstract kinetic art wall sculpture created by Venezuelan artist Jose Margulis in 2017. Featuring a palette made of black and white, this PVC and plexiglass sculpture features a juxtaposition of lines, whose subtle variation of height and colors creates a combination of geometrical shapes. The minimalist quality of this piece infuses it with a sense of simplicity while the kinetic approach plays with our eye beautifully. Walking along the piece will allow you to embrace it fully. With its exquisite flowing 3D movement and nice proportions, this kinetic 2020 abstract sculpture will be a strong focal point in any room, whether placed above a sofa, console table or enfilade. Jose Margulis was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1970. He traces his love of art to his studying photography as a young man before working for his family’s digital printing business. Today he begins most of his pieces as a digital creation which he then brings to life in a 3D world. Most of his work is created with acrylic sheets of various colors, textures, shapes and levels of translucency. “I treat my three-dimensional pieces as light traps or secret blueprints, in which by controlling the placement of its components, I’m able to create intriguing 3-D containers.” The patterns and shapes of his pieces come alive based on the angles and intensity and saturation of light at any moment, or throughout the day. Jose tends towards a bright and fully saturated color palette which is heavily influenced by the traditional Mexican arts and craft...Category
