The Museum is very impressive with the colorful 29 columns at the entrance plaza. Once inside, we had an amazing guide Avital, who explained about Agam, the man, his works and the reasoning behind this genius of an artist.
As she was explaining one of Agam's works of art, she said, "Agam, how nice to see you"!
Who is Yaacov Agam?
Agam is known as the Father of the Kinetic Movement in Modern Art and one of the world's leading 20th century artists. He was born in Israel, Rishon LeZion, and studied in Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem and in Zurich and Paris with well known artists. Agam's works have been displayed in important museums around the world, such as, MoMA, Guggenheim in New York and the Pompidou Center in Paris.
CAARI is full of surprises making this a wonderful way to see and be in Israel! We REALLY see - Israel's hidden gems!
