About the work
Victor Vasarely's perfectionism imposes on him an absolute quality requirement that only at that time could be satisfied by the prowess of Basel print shops.
Thus, between 1971 and 1978, Les Éditions du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the realization, distribution, and dissemination of 19 albums and 12 screenprints containing the anthology of his works.
This unique print from a special edition was conceived and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself, and it is with the same attention to quality that Les éditions du Griffon paid exceptional care to these series of albums printed in the 1970s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
