Untitled (polymorph serigraph) 1979

This polymorph serigraph was created by Yaacov Agam, an artist born in Israel in 1928, whose work is rooted in the precept of change and explores perception. Agam was a leading pioneer of the kinetic art movement, where artworks invite interaction and movement from the viewer to reveal their multiple perspectives. Here, vertical lines in black, white, and a wide spectrum of colors, create a dynamic interplay, shifting with your position. Agam was deeply influenced by his Kabbalistic background, which taught him that reality is always in a state of flux. He sought to create art that represented this ever-changing state of being. As Agam said, "My intention was to show that which can be conceived beyond the visible." Through abstraction and audience participation, Agam transcends traditional representations of form and meaning. By engaging with this piece, the viewer becomes an active participant in the ongoing evolution of the artwork.
