You do not want to miss this authentic work by one of Pop Art's Op Masters, Yaacov Agam. Yaacov Agam (1928- ): Born in Israel, Agam is the highest selling Israeli artist in history. While he has a global and classical art education he was much more influenced by experimental art and ultimately noted as a founding father of the kinetic art movement. As people began to appreciate the role the kinetic art movement played in art history, Agam's work has continued to increase in value and popularity. Agam believed that kinetic art forced the audience to question their pre-conceived notions about how an audience interacts with art. Agam was seeking a better way to connect to the audience within the constraints of traditional art. He has become famous for his original printing technique, known as an "Agamograph." This technique uses ones perspective to present a series of varied images depending on the angle the image is observed. Agam's 1969 masterpiece Complex Vision shows this technique implemented on a massive 30 foot by 30 foot scale. While Agam may have created art to aid him on his own spiritual journey, his original concept was embraced be art enthusiasts everywhere. Likely his best known piece was created in 1987 at the Whaling Wall in Jerusalem. It was created to honor the victims of the holocaust. His dynamic sculptures and three dimensional paintings can also be found at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., the Parliament in Strasbourg, and at JFK airport.

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.
