Agam, Yaacov, Signed Original Bronze Sculpture

(comes with original fitted case)

This sculpture by Agam is uniquely designed out of a combination of minimal bronze elements. Joining separate angular bars of bronze to a rectangular base, this work evolves into a menorah that can be changed into a multitude of combinations.

Created out of bronze, this work is signed in the base by Agam with the dedication 'To Joyces et Bernard Sternhoe'. It comes with the candle holders that can be put on the sculpture or left off. Each element of the work rates and be made to be displayed in a myriad of patterns. It can form numerous combinations of shapes that can constantly be changed. It is a wonderful study of Agam's kinetic philosophy. It is also comes with it original hard carrying case.

The son of a Rabbi, Agam wished to use his artwork to invoke the ecstasy he experienced in his religion. The way in which we view this image changes with our perspective. As the viewer moves around the piece, there is an effect of change and transformation inherent in Agam's work. Not only does this work reflect the variety of interpretations fundamental to abstract art, the artist's intention was to represent the ever changing meanings within life itself. Visually enhanced by the fourth dimension of time, this piece also changes in appearance as the light surrounding it changes.
