FIRST DAY COVER
A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope or card on which a new stamp is affixed and postmarked on its first official issue day. Artist-signed copies – like this – are extremely rare and highly sought after.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Victor Vasarely (1906–1997)
was a Hungarian-French artist and one of the most important founders of Op Art. Through the systematic use of geometric shapes, color contrasts, and optical effects, he transformed flat picture planes into dynamic compositions that convey movement and spatial depth. His work had a significant influence on geometric abstraction, graphic art, and visual culture of the second half of the 20th century.

Xing Fei (born 1958 in Beijing)
is a Chinese artist whose work merges the refinement and spontaneity of traditional Chinese ink painting with a modern Western visual language. Her works have been shown in museums and galleries in the United States and internationally. In 1986 she participated in the New York exhibition “Avant-Garde Chinese Art,” together with artists such as Ai Weiwei.
