Kinetic and Illusionary Works by Ronald Mallory and Yaacov Agam Highlight Orion Antiques’ Upcoming Auction

Artist Ronald Mallory (1932 – 2021) was regarded as one of the founding members of the kinetic art movement in the world. He worked extensively in New York City and Milan and later moved to San Miguel de Allende. His mercury and acrylic works are considered iconic and have been showcased in major collections and museums globally. Mallory’s wall hanging sculpture titled Kinetic Mercury is a key highlight of this upcoming sale, presented by Orion Antiques. The steel and glass motorized artwork is signed and dated 1970 on verso. His kinetic art, consisting of moving parts powered by a motor, symbolizes a sense of formless mobility in space and time.

Yaacov Agam’s kinetic Agamograph is another work of interest. In this piece, the Israeli artist portrays an illusionary image with a three-dimensional perspective. Agam is renowned for creating works that transcend the obvious. The sale also features Haitian artist Joseph Thony Moise’s oil on panel Village Scene. In his Realist-Expressionist style, the artist depicts a rural scene with underlying social themes that characterize life in Haiti.
