Handmade in Israel

Yesterday, 21st June, renowned Israeli artist and sculptor Yaacov Agam passed away at the age of 98. A pioneer of optical and kinetic art, Agam was best known in Israel for the Fire and Water Fountain in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Square. His works were exhibited and installed in cities around the world, reaching and captivating audiences of all ages. His creative legacy will continue to influence generations of artists and art lovers in Israel and beyond.

In his memory, I am sharing this blog post from May 2018 about my visit to the fascinating Yaacov Agam Museum of Art.
