...shrewd art spotter (and haggler), she has furnished their $150,000, twelve-room Park Avenue coop with a couple of Venards, a Man Ray sculpture, a Guardi, a Pol Bury kinetic, a Yaacov Agam (her newest and proudest acquisition), and some superlative samples of pop and op.*In the library of the Javitses' Park Avenue place there also hangs a striking, feline oil of Marion by Boris Chaliapin. The mouth is sensual and slightly parted, the eyes tigerish and burning bright. But why, the startled subject asked on seeing the finished portrait, why on earth the golden arrow through...
Only in the painting category did the seven-member international jury, representing six European nations, give the top nod to something beyond the pale look of art already seen. Argentina's Le Pare, 37, won the $3,225 grand international prize for his motorized op-skip-and-jump works, which bobble and bounce ping-pong balls behind eye-boggling Plexiglas screens.

...life," says Yaacov Agam, the son of an Israeli rabbi, "you never can see all that is going on at once." An old saying? Perhaps, but Agam, 38, has sawed his preaching into visual parables. He paints op art murals that change their spots entirely when the viewer passes by, makes wall constructions whose pieces may be rearranged like bits of hardware in a pegboard, or, mounted on springs, rummaged through as if they were bouquets of clanking metal flowers. He also composes bit-by-bit musical moments that sound like timbrels and woodwinds fumbling randomly up and down...
