Catalogue Note
"Agam encloses the viewer in a universe of forms and pure colors only in order to allow him to measure his infinite freedom of choice within his own perceptions... Agam compels the viewer to become his interpreter, and so makes him pass from the world of contemplation to the world of creation." (Alain Jouffroy in Homage to Yaacov Agam, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1980, p. 70)
