About the work:
Vasarely’s pursuit of perfection demanded an absolute quality that only then-masterful printing presses in Basel 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 screen prints comprising a curated selection of his works.
This unique print from a special edition titled "Ondulatoires" which was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and with the same commitment to quality Editions du Griffon gave exceptional care to these album sets printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
