The artwork titled “Grand oeil cosmique” was created by Yaacov Agam in 1979. This piece belongs to the Kinetic Art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork consists of a spherical metallic object, polished to a reflective sheen, encased within a transparent, rectilinear container. The sphere is delicately suspended from the top of the container by two slim rods that converge towards the focal point. A solid base supports the sphere from below, adding to the structural integrity of the piece. This interplay of geometric forms and reflective surfaces creates a dynamic visual experience, characteristic of Kinetic Art, where perception of the sculpture may vary with the viewer’s movement and the light’s reflection on the polished metallic surface.
