a rare and captivating kinetic light sculpture by yaacov agam, titled “image-magic”, issued as part of a limited edition by meissner edition hamburg. This striking work exemplifies agam’s masterful fusion of light, color, and movement—core elements of his groundbreaking visual language.

composed of a tall, transparent acrylic glass prism, the sculpture features vibrant colored geometric forms—arranged vertically like a column of evolving chromatic energy. The integrated light base subtly illuminates the internal design, transforming the static form into a dynamic interplay of reflection, refraction, and perception—true to agam’s lifelong exploration of the fourth dimension in art: time.

each sculpture in this edition is hand-signed and numbered by agam on the sculpture itself, making it not only a visual spectacle but also a highly collectible, authenticated edition.
