“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
