About the work:
Victor Vasarely’s perfectionism demanded absolute quality, which at the time only the remarkable capabilities of Basel’s printing presses could deliver.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Editions du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, was entrusted by Victor Vasarely with producing, distributing, and publishing 19 portfolios and 12 silkscreens featuring a selection of his works.
This unique print comes from a special edition entitled "Ondulatoires," conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself. With the same commitment to quality, Editions du Griffon took exceptional care with these series of portfolios printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the reverse of the prints.
