 Enrique Careaga
(1944 - 2014)

Enrique Careaga, a Paraguayan painter born in Asunción in 1944, is an essential figure in the contemporary art world of Latin America. 
Sphere Spatio-Temporelle BS 7523 belongs to a series of two-dimensional optical geometric works created in Paris starting in 1973. In this piece, Enrique Careaga interlaces the relationship between light and movement with that of time and space through the juxtaposition of geometric shapes—mainly spheres, lines, squares, or two-dimensional structures—on a completely black surface.

 Tadasky (Tadasuke Kuwayama)
(b. 1935)

Tadasky (Tadasuke Kuwayama) grew up in Nagoya, Japan, where his father was a well known maker of Shinto shrines. He has lived and worked in New York City and upstate New York since 1961.
His work has been identified with so-called “Optical Art” since the Museum of Modern Art launched the much-noticed “Responsive Eye” exhibition in the 1960s. His main connection with the other artists of that “movement” is an abiding admiration for the Bauhaus group. He also became part of Yoshihara Jiro’s Gutai Pinacotheca group in Osaka, Japan in the early 1960s.

 Yaacov Agam
(b. 1928)
 

Yaacov Agam born Yaacov Gibstein, has been and continues to be a leading Israeli artist. As a sculptor and experimental artist, he is most well-known for his influence on optical and kinetic art, both of which stress change and movement. Even at the beginning of his career, Agam created abstract, kinetic work, often incorporating light and sound, that placed a focus on viewer participation. This strategy of encouraging active involvement from the spectator was still very rare at the time, but this has remained at the core of his practice throughout his career.
