ABOUT US
A Private Portal for the Discerning International Collector
Welcome to AGAM.ART, a dedicated private portal created for a singular, time-sensitive event: the exclusive sale of 16 significant artworks by Yaacov Agam, a celebrated pioneer of kinetic and optical art.
This platform serves as a secure and confidential digital salon for serious collectors, connoisseurs, institutions, and art market professionals. We have dispensed with the noise of a public marketplace to create a focused environment that honours the gravitas of these masterworks. Our purpose is to facilitate a sophisticated and seamless acquisition process, underpinned by an absolute commitment to integrity, discretion, and connoisseurship. This is a unique opportunity to engage with and acquire works of profound art-historical importance.
The Collection:
A Conclusive Vision with Unparalleled Provenance
The journey of these 16 “4D” Lenticular Holographic artworks is as multi-dimensional as the pieces themselves, adding an extraordinary layer to their value and desirability. Conceived by Yaacov Agam in his major art centres of Paris and Tel Aviv, this body of work represents his final and most ambitious series in the 4D lenticular medium.
Their story culminates in an unprecedented chapter of artistic validation in New Zealand. The realisation of these technologically complex works was made possible through a vital collaboration with a New Zealand-based technology partner. This synergy prompted a pivotal event: Yaacov Agam, a figure of immense international stature, undertook a dedicated four-month journey to New Zealand.
This was not a cursory visit, but a profound commitment to his artistic legacy. On New Zealand soil, Agam meticulously reviewed, inspected, approved, and personally hand-signed each of the 16 masterworks. This direct, personal imprimatur, affixed in the Antipodes, consecrates this collection with an unimpeachable provenance and stands as the artist’s ultimate endorsement of his conclusive vision in this medium. These artworks do not merely reside in New Zealand by circumstance; they bear the indelible mark of the master’s final touch, applied here.
For Every Collection:
The Manifold Significance of These Works
This unique collection holds distinct appeal for the diverse spectrum of today’s most sophisticated art acquirers.
- For the Connoisseur & Legacy Collector: These works represent a rare opportunity to acquire a cornerstone of kinetic art history. As Agam’s final series in this medium, personally validated by the artist, they are cultural heirlooms of the highest order, promising to become fixtures in distinguished private collections.
- For the Innovator & Modernist: Agam’s work is a dialogue between art and science. For tech entrepreneurs and collectors with a modernist aesthetic, these pieces are more than art; they are emblems of innovation. The “fourth dimension” of viewer participation offers a compelling parallel to digital interactivity, making them bold, intelligent statements for contemporary spaces.
- For the Institution & Gallerist: This collection presents museum-quality works with an exceptionally clear and powerful provenance story, essential for curatorial programming, academic study, and the secondary market. The unique market availability via this event makes them a significant acquisition prospect for any serious art entity.
- For the Designer & Brand Visionary: For those crafting luxury environments, from private residences and wellness spaces to flagship brand experiences, these artworks offer unparalleled dynamism. They are not static objects but transformative centerpieces that create immersive, contemplative, and unforgettable atmospheres.
