Agam, Yacov.

An Original Agamograph Inscribed and Signed by the Artist Yacov Agam.

[circa 1974 to 1980]. [circa 1974 to 1980]. [circa 1974 to 1980]. [circa 1974 to 1980]. Very good. AN ORIGINAL AGAMOGRAPH BY THE ISRAELI ARTIST - The prism covered artwork measures 15 inches high by 14 inches wide. Inscribed by the artist to City Center producer Jean Dalrymple at bottom left, and boldly signed "Agam" in ink at the bottom center of this superb kinetic creation. There is some occasional minor rubbing to the surface of the lenticular lens, though one has to look hard to notice it. A very attractive piece which changes shape and color as one moves and views the art work across its plane. Handsomely framed with spacing between the glass and the surface of the artwork. Near fine. Agamographs are kinetic works of art which change in color and form when viewed from different angles. This Agamograph, with its wonderful spiral and wave-like patterns in various colors which shift from shades of blue, red, orange, green, pink, purple and yellow, is an early work by the artist in this medium. Yacov Agam was a friend of the late Jean Dalrymple and gave her one of his early efforts in this medium. By September of 1980, Jean Dalrymple produced a play by Eugene Ionesco staged on a set designed by Agam as a "Multi-Stage Theatre". The publicity for this performance read as follows: "The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Jean Dalrymple, Sidney Frank and Paul Berman present EUGENE IONESCO'S new play 'VARIATIONS ON THE SAME THEME: Journeys Among the Dead" Directed by Mr. Berman in the Multi-Stage Theatre as Part of the Presentation AGAM: 'BEYOND THE VISIBLE' at the SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM". "Yacov Agam, formerly Yaacov Gipstein (b. May 11, 1928, Israel), leading exponent of optical and kinetic art who, as a pioneer in the genres, first exhibited works of that nature in Paris in 1953. Agam's art demonstrates a concern with time, change, and movement; the viewer witnesses a series of changes in colours and shapes created, in some instances, by his own movement and, in others, by rotation of the work itself or by the manipulating of light. In a series of metal sculptures he called transformables, the artist created movable components that could be adjusted to innumerable shapes. Examples of such works are 'Three Times Three Interplay' (1970–71; Juilliard School of Music, New York City) and 'The Hundred Gates' in the gardens of Israel's presidential palace in Jerusalem. Other important works include 'Jacob's Ladder,' a 197-foot- (600-metre-) long ceiling painting (1964; convention centre, Jerusalem); a mural at Forum Leverkusen, West Germany (1969–70); the decoration of an anteroom at the Elysee Palace, Paris (1971–72); and a water-fire fountain (1972; Laclede Gas Building, St. Louis, Mo.)." [Excerpted from the Encyclopedia Brittanica]. The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
