Yaacov Agam Museum of Art, Interactive art museum in Rishon LeZion, Israel.
The Yaacov Agam Museum of Art is a museum in Rishon LeZion dedicated to kinetic artworks that change appearance depending on the viewer's angle and position. The exhibition space is structured with colorful pillars that architecturally reinforce the concept of movement.
The artist developed his distinctive artistic approach in Paris during the 1950s and became a pioneer of kinetic art movements. His works were later exhibited in major institutions worldwide and influenced subsequent generations of artists.
The museum displays works by an artist who placed movement and changing viewpoints at the center of his practice. The collection reflects an artistic language that explored diverse materials and techniques across six decades.
Visitors should allow ample time to explore the interactive artworks from different angles and observe their visual transformations. The spaces are walkable and permit a thorough examination of all perspectives during a leisurely visit.
The artworks in the museum employ a technical method using line screens and perspective shifts that allows viewers to see different images without moving parts being necessary. This principle revolutionized the art world yet is often overlooked when focusing on the visible effects alone.
