Double Vertical Orchestration

Yaacov Agam (nee Yaacov Gipstein, Rishon le Zion, Israel; 1928) “Double Vertical Orchestration” (Double Rhythm Gold Series) (circa 1979); limited edition color screen prints, each hand signed in the lower right and numbered 17/54 in the lower left by the artist in marker. The two images (25.5 x 7 inches each) have been matted and framed side by side in a 2.5-inch bronze toned frame measuring 36.5 x 27.5 inches covered with Plexiglass. Yaacov Agam is an Israeli sculptor and experimental artist best known for his contributions to optical and kinetic art. He is the creator of the “Agamograph” which uses barrier-grid animation to present radically different images, depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Agam's work is usually abstract, kinetic art, with movement, viewer participation and frequent use of light and sound.
