About the work:
Vasarely’s perfectionism imposes an absolute standard of quality that only at that time the printing presses of Basel's print shops could meet. Thus, between 1971 and 1978, the Griffon Editions, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the production, distribution, and dissemination of 19 albums and 12 screenprints combining a survey of his works.
This single edition printed from a special edition titled "Ondulatoires" which was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and with the same commitment to quality, Griffon Editions gave exceptional care to these series of albums printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
