Here are some biographicaldetailsabout Yaacov Agam from Wikipedia...BiographyYaakov Agam (Gipstein) was born on 11 May 1928 in Rishon LeZion, then Mandate Palestine. His father, Yehoshua Gibstein, was a rabbi and a kabbalist. He trained at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, before moving to Zürich and then to Paris, where he still lives. Agam has two sons and a daughter. His son Ron is a photographer.Artistic CareerAgam\'s first solo exhibition was at the Galerie Graven in 1953, and he exhibited three works at the 1954 Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. He established himself as one of the leading pioneers of kinetic art at the Le Mouvement exhibition at theGalerie Denise René in 1955, alongside such artists as Jesús Rafael Soto, Carlos Cruz-Díez, Pol Bury, Alexander Calderand Jean Tinguely.Agam\'s work is usually abstract, kinetic art, with movement, viewer participation and frequent use of light and sound. His best known pieces include \"Double Metamorphosis III\" (1965), \"Visual Music Orchestration\" (1989) and fountains at the La Défense district in Paris (1975) and in Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv (1986). He is also known for a type of print known as an Agamograph, which uses lenticular printing to present radically different images, depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The lenticular technique was executed in large scale in the 30\' x 30\' (9.14 M x 9.14 M) \"Complex Vision\" (1969) which adorns the facade of the Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.One of Agam\'s most notable creations is the Hanukkah Menorah at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th Street in New York City. The 32-foot-high, gold colored, 4,000 pound steel structure is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World\'s Largest Hanukkah Menorah. It uses real oil lamps, which are lighted every year during Hanukkah, with the aid of cherry-picking machines.In 1996 Agam was awarded the Jan Amos Comenius Medal by UNESCO for the \"Agam Method\" for visual education of young children.His works are held in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.He is the subject of two documentary films by American filmmaker Warren Forma: \"Possibilities of Agam\" (1967) and \"Agam and...\" (1980).
