Yaacov Agam (Israeli, b. 1928), Fascination - Midnight Blue (Prismagraph)

Prismagraph, 16 transparent prisms over a 69-color serigraph relief construction, 1995, ink signed and numbered 4/144 to prisms, retains gallery paperwork and certificate, artist-framed. Frame dimensions 27 x 35 1/4 in. Private Art Collection, Las Vegas, Nevada Yaacov Agam’s prismagraphs are among the rarer and more technically-complex works in the artist's graphic oeuvre. This prismagraph titled Fascination is a 69-color serigraph overlaid with sixteen transparent acrylic prisms that refract the printed image, causing its colors and geometric forms to shift as the viewer moves before it. Agam's prismagraphs are a fusion of printmaking, relief, and kinetic sculpture, translating the artist's interest in movement and changing perception into a 3-dimensional form. Produced in far fewer designs than his conventional serigraphs and agamographs, these elaborate constructions represent a rare and important example of Agam’s editioned work. Excellent condition.
