"Vitrage" – A Sculpture By Yaacov Agam (b. 1928)
"Vitrage", a sculpture by Yaacov Agam (b. 1928).
Printed Plexiglas. Signed and numbered "AP 11/18".
Yaacov Agam was born and raised in Rishon LeZion. As the son of a rabbi, he received traditional education, but later turned to art. Between 1946 and 1949, he studied at Bezalel under Mordechai Ardon and in 1949, he moved to Zurich to study at the School of Applied Arts (Kunstgewerbe Schule). Agam then moved to Paris, where he continued his studies and where he lives and works to this day. In Paris, though at first influenced by surrealism, he started developing the style of kinetic art for which he is famous. Agam's work is characterized by its colorfulness and abstract images based on Jewish-Kabbalistic iconography.
Plexiglas: 63X27.5 cm. In a frame with a pedestal. Total height: 70.5 cm. Stains and color losses to frame.
