Mid Century Israeli Rug

This superb art deco-style Yaacov Agam vintage rugfeatures a tremendous two-dimensional op-art pattern imbued with the artist's characteristic mind-bending details. Using a stark combination of black and ivory, Agam creates a modern masterpiece accented with strong geometric figures, vibrant colors and his signature lenticular stripes. The modern composition uses minimalist colors and even minimalist shapes to create a high-art rug that captures the essence of each geometric figure. The experimental selection of elliptical orbs, quadrilateral figures and delicate trilateral motifs are set against the dramatic striped ground that cleverly obscures the line between positive and negative. This superb mid century modern Agam carpet from Israel, has a distinctive optical style that represents an important link in the evolution of modern art. It is in mint condition with absolutely no repair or restoration and good pile throughout.
