Yaacov Agam is an Israeli sculptor and experimental artist widely known for his contributions to optical and kinetic art. Agam trained at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, before moving to Zurich, Switzerland in 1949, where he studied under Johannes Itten at the Kunstgewerbe Schule, and was also influenced by the painter and sculptor Max Bill. In 1951 he moved to Paris, France, where he still lives. Agam's first solo exhibition was at the Galerie Craven, Paris, in 1953. Agam's work is usually abstract, kinetic art, with movement, viewer participation and frequent use of light and sound. His works are held in numerous museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art. In 2018 the Yaacov Agam Museum of Art (YAMA) opened in the artist's hometown of Rishon LeZion, Israel.
