Description
Signed Yaacov Agam, 'Purple Progression'. Editioned Screenprint
Yaacov Agam (Israeli, born 1928). 'Purple Progression'. Screenprint in colors on paper, signed and numbered in ink to the lower margin 9/29.
Yaacov Agam studied at the bezalel academy in jerusalem under Mordecai Ardon in 1946, moved to zurich and then paris, and studied at the atelier d'art abstrait and at the académie de la grande chaumière. He produced abstract, kinetic work that incorporated light, sound, and viewer participation. He also produced many public commissions, including a moving salon environment at the elysée palace in paris in 1972. In 1979, he was commissioned to create a work to commemorate the peacemaking efforts between Anwar el-Sadat and Prime Minister Menachem Begin at ben-gurion university in beersheba, israel. He created the Star of Peace, a kinetic sculpture that appeared from one direction to be the five-pointed star of Islam, from another, the six-pointed star of david, and from a third, a new star formed from their fusion. Other public projects include a 1987 memorial at the wailing wall in jerusalem for the victims of the holocaust, and the world's largest menorah: a 32-foot, 4,000-pound structure at fifth avenue and 59th street in manhattan, designed in 1977 and based on the original menorah in jerusalem's holy temple.
Sight - 11" high x 28 1/2" wide. Frame - 25" high x 42" wide.
