“Beyond the Visible – Multidimensional Tower” is a sculpture by the artist Yaacov Agam, who is prominent within both the Kinetic Art and Op Art movements. The artwork, characterized by its genre as a sculpture, exhibits elements distinctive of these movements, including dynamic visual effects and an engagement with the viewer’s perception.
The artwork features a tall, slender tower composed of a series of interconnected planes that exhibit vibrant and varied colors. The structure is designed with a rhythmic repetition of geometric shapes, creating an intricate interplay of light and color. Each segment of the tower appears to shift and change depending on the angle from which it is viewed, making the sculpture a dynamic piece that captures the essence of Kinetic Art. The foundation of the tower rests on a solid square base, providing stability and balance to the vertically soaring elements above. The overall effect of the sculpture is one of optical illusion and movement, encouraging viewers to experience multiple dimensions within a single form.
