This exquisite, hand-signed and numbered work of art is a stunning fusion of modern Israeli kinetic art and traditional Jewish ritual, designed by the internationally acclaimed artist Yaacov Agam. A pioneer of the kinetic art movement, Agam is celebrated for his works that change appearance with the viewer's movement.
The piece features a removable 24k gold-plated sterling silver cup housed within a clear Lucite cylinder. The colorful serigraph (print) insert within the cylinder is an "Agamograph" that, when revolved, creates an optical illusion that forms the image of a Star of David. The top of the cylinder features Agam's unique Hebrew typography, a mirror image of the blessing over wine, which reflects onto the golden rim of the cup.
This specific example comes complete with its original presentation box, making it a highly desirable collector's item and a significant piece of Judaica art.
