About the artist:
Victor Vasarely: (1906-1997) French-born Hungarian artist recognized as the father of Op Art, or “op-art.” His works are present in the world’s greatest museums, including: Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (Japan); Fondation Vasarely; Centre Pompidou (France); Walker Art Center; MoMA; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Guggenheim, New York (USA); Das Museum Folkwang (Germany); Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Portugal); Kröller-Müller Museum (Netherlands); Queensland Art Gallery (Australia); Nykytaiteen museo Kiasma (Finland); Horsens Kunstmuseum (Denmark); Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Italy); National Gallery of Scotland, Tate Collection (United Kingdom); Kunstmuseum Lichtenstein (Liechtenstein); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Argentina); Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje (FYROM); Henie Onstad Museum (Norway); Victor Vasarely Museum, Pécs (Hungary); Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Caracas (Venezuela); Musée des Beaux-Arts, Montréal (Canada)...
About the work:
Vasarely’s pursuit of perfection dictates an absolute standard of quality that only at that time the presses of Basel printers could satisfy.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Editions Du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the realization, distribution and diffusion of 19 albums and 12 silkscreens gathering the flower of his works.
This unique print comes from a special edition titled "Ondulatoires" that was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and it is with this same commitment to quality that Editions Du Griffon gave exceptional care to these series of albums printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
