Yaacov Agam (nee Yaacov Gipstein, Rishon le Zion, Israel; 1928) “Double Vertical Orchestration” (Double Rhythm Gold Series) (circa 1979); limited edition color screen prints, each hand signed in the lower right and numbered 17/54 in the lower left by the artist in marker.  The two images (25.5 x 7 inches each) have been matted and framed side by side in a 2.5-inch bronze toned frame measuring 36.5 x 27.5 inches covered with Plexiglass.

Yaacov Agam is an Israeli sculptor and experimental artist best known for his contributions to optical and kinetic art.  He is the creator of the “Agamograph” which uses barrier-grid animation to present radically different images, depending on the angle from which it is viewed.   Agam's work is usually abstract, kinetic art, with movement, viewer participation and frequent use of light and sound.

1928 , Israel

Op art pioneer Yaacov Agam’s abstract artworks—which range from painting, sculpture, drawing, and ceramics, to stained glass and etching—typically incorporate light, sound, or viewer participation. The son of an orthodox rabbi, Agam first trained as an artist in Jerusalem, going on to combine formalist art with kabbalistic mysticism, and he is credited with introducing geometric abstraction to Israeli art. Agam’s best known series of works, comprised of painted strips that appear to shift and oscillate as viewers alter their points of view, would become known as “Agamographs.” He has also produced public commissions, including the world’s largest menorah, installed in New York City, and Star of Peace for Ben-Gurion university that fused the five-pointed star of Islam with the six-pointed Star of David. Agam met and was influenced by the Bauhaus artist and teacher Johannes Itten in Zurich, and also cites Wassily Kandinsky’s abstraction as an influence on his practice
