Yaacov Agam, born in 1928 in Rishon LeZion, Israel, is a pioneering figure in kinetic and optical art. Known for his innovative use of movement, light, and color, Agam’s work challenges traditional perceptions of art by engaging the viewer in an interactive experience. His dynamic pieces often shift and change depending on the viewer’s position, creating a sense of constant transformation.
Agam studied art in Zurich and later in Paris, where he became a central figure in the kinetic art movement. His unique style, blending geometric forms with vibrant colors and optical illusions, gained international acclaim. Notable works include his Agamographs—lenticular prints that appear to change as one moves around them—and his large-scale public installations, such as the Water and Fire Fountain in Tel Aviv. His works are housed in major institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Pompidou Center in Paris.
Deeply influenced by his Jewish heritage, Agam’s art is rooted in concepts of time, movement, and the spiritual dimension of existence. Through his ever-evolving creations, Agam continues to push the boundaries of visual art, making him one of the most influential artists in contemporary art history.
