Yaacov Agam Star of Love, 1983 is created through multiple images, in which only one vantage point reveals the complete star. From the extreme left of the work, a blue on white composition of inverted triangles is visible. As the viewer moves slowly to the right, the Star of Love emerges in blue, white, and red, with colorful elements interspersed around the star. To the extreme right, a completely abstract composition of reds, yellows, blues, and violets are organized in a rectilinear fashion creating a sense of motion and transition.

Using a combination of sculptural and graphic elements, this piece hangs beautifully to create a sense of movement extending from the wall in which it is placed. Beautifully layered with graphic and sculptural elements, this work reveals itself to the viewer through multiple perspectives. Representing Agam's unique perception and revolutionary technique, this piece transforms the way in which we view art through four dimensions. As the viewer moves around the piece, there is an effect of change and transformation inherent in Agam's work. Not only does this work reflect the variety of interpretations fundamental to abstract art, the artist's intention was to represent the ever changing meanings within life itself. Visually enhanced by the fourth dimension of time, this piece changes in appearance as the light surrounding it changes.
