About the work:
Vasarely’s perfectionism imposes an absolute quality standard that only at that time the capabilities of Basel printing presses could meet.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Editions Du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the production, distribution, and diffusion of 19 albums and 12 screenprints gathering the best of his works.
This single edition print from a special edition titled "Ondulatoires" was envisioned and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and with that same commitment to quality, Editions Du Griffon gave these printed-year 70s album series exceptional care, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
