About the work:

Vasarely’s pursuit of perfection imposes an absolute standard of quality that only at that time the printing presses in Basel, Switzerland, could meet.
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 serigraphs gathering the best of his works.
This unique print comes from a special edition entitled "Ondulatoires" which was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and with the same concern for quality Editions du Griffon gave exceptional care to these series of albums printed in the 70s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
