Yaacov Agam’s prismagraphs are among the rarer and more technically-complex works in the artist's graphic oeuvre. This prismagraph titled Fascination is a 69-color serigraph overlaid with sixteen transparent acrylic prisms that refract the printed image, causing its colors and geometric forms to shift as the viewer moves before it. Agam's prismagraphs are a fusion of printmaking, relief, and kinetic sculpture, translating the artist's interest in movement and changing perception into a 3-dimensional form. Produced in far fewer designs than his conventional serigraphs and agamographs, these elaborate constructions represent a rare and important example of Agam’s editioned work.

Excellent condition.
