Yaacov Agam, the pioneering Israeli kinetic and op artist known worldwide for his geometric moving works and large-scale public installations, has died. He was 98. The news was first reported by The Zioneer.
Yaacov Agam, one of Israel's most internationally recognized artists, died Sunday at age 98. Agam, born in 1928 in Rishon LeZion, pioneered a form of abstract art that changes appearance depending on the viewer's angle or movement — known as "Agamagraphs." His works are displayed in major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Pompidou Center in Paris. Among his most famous public installations in Israel is the revolving fountain in Dizengoff Square, Tel Aviv. Further details about his passing were not immediately available.
