About the work:
Vasarely’s pursuit of perfection imposes an absolute quality standard that only the capabilities of Basel printers’ presses could meet at the time. 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 screenprints gathering his works’ best pieces.
This unique print comes from a special edition entitled "Ondulatoires" which Vasarely himself designed and supervised, and it is with the same quality concern 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 impressions.
