Description:Offering a variation upon Agam’s constant fascination with creating art that access the forth dimension, this work only becomes fully activated when spun by the viewer. Each view presents a completely different experience with very different images. 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 changes in appearance as the light surrounding it changes.
This Spinning Polymorph is hand signed by Agam in blue ink along the bottom edge of the piece: “agam 1983 Paris.” Utilizing multiple perspectives, this free standing sculpture is enjoyable in a variety of settings.
The following is an excerpt from From the 2nd to the 3rd, into the 4th Dimension… by Jack Solomon, Jr.:
“The Free-standing Double-Sided Spinning Polymorph is a continuous artwork with a corrugated surface. It can be viewed in many possible ways, and its qualities transcend the visible. With the slightest touch, the spectator activates the work’s variable speeds and mobility, where-upon its many colorful views are fused into one orchestrated image in movement. The viewer is now intimately involved with the art experience through both his sense of touch and his sense of sight. The image dissolves into different single compositions, which are seen alone or overlapping each other. If the turning reaches a certain speed, all images blur and disappear into a new situation” (Solomon, 32) .
