About the work:
Victor Vasarely's perfectionism imposes an absolute standard of quality that, at that time, only the presses of Basel printers could meet.
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 screen prints comprising the best of his works.
This unique print from a special edition was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and it is with the same care for quality that Editions du Griffon gave exceptional attention to these series of albums printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
