Yaacov Agam, the Rembrandt of Our Time

September 12, 2011

A modern-day Galileo, the 21st Century Rembrandt — as an innovator and artist, Yaacov Agam is often compared to historical men of genius like these.

Most recently, Israel’s best watched news broadcast, Channel 2 News, profiled Agam and his many achievements. From the ongoing restoration of his Fire and Water Fountain in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Square, to the re-installation of his work in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, to the future Agam Museum in Rishon LeZion, don’t miss this fascinating look at the “Father of Kinetic Art,” Yaacov Agam.

Exclusive artwork by Yaacov Agam is available for purchase through Park West Gallery and its cruise art auctions at sea. Visit the Park West Gallery Yaacov Agam Fine Art Collection →
