Description from the seller
Challenger
Vexations
Serigraph
19/25
The work has some minor imperfections, but the image itself is in good condition.
Challenger's work forms a powerful dialogue between op-art and constructivism. His graphic work evokes the interplay of shapes, structures, and colors of his predecessors, including Albers and Escher, but in a more forceful and at the same time more playful way.
