About the work:
Vasarely’s pursuit of perfection imposes an uncompromising standard of quality that only the then-state-of-the-art presses in Basel could meet.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Editions du Griffon in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Vasarely with the realization, distribution, and dissemination of 19 albums and 12 serigraphs comprising the best of his works.
This unique print originates from a special edition titled "Ondulatoires" that Vasarely himself conceived and supervised, and it is with that same quality mindset that Editions du Griffon gave these 1970s albums exceptional care, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the impressions.
