About the work:
Vasarely's perfectionism imposes an absolute quality requirement that only at that time the prowess of Basel printers' presses could satisfy.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Editions du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the realization, distribution and dissemination of 19 albums and 12 serigraphs comprising the anthology of his works.
This unique print from a portfolio was imagined and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and it is with the same concern for quality that Editions du Griffon gave exceptional care to these album series printed in the 70s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
