 Israeli-born
in 1928, Yaacov Agam was educated
at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem and the Atelier d'Art Abstrait
in Paris. He has dedicated his creative life to the exploration of diverse
relationships between art and technology. Using complex, seemingly scientific
combinations of shapes andcolors, Agam is able to create a multitude of
illusions, each meeting the viewer at his particular vantage point. Among
the awards he has received are a special prize for art research at the Sao
Paulo Bienal in 1963 and first prize at the International Festival of Painting
at Cagnes-surmer in 1970. Agam has had exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum,
the Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
His work is in the collections of many museums, including the Museum of
Modern Art in New York and the Joseph Hirshhorn Collection in Washington,
D.C. |
