About the work
Victor Vasarely's perfectionism imposes an absolute standard of quality on him, which only at that time could be satisfied by the feats of the printing presses of Basel.
Between 1971 and 1978, Les éditions du Griffon, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, were entrusted by Victor Vasarely with the production, distribution, and dissemination of 19 albums and 12 serigraphs, showcasing a selection of his works.
This unique print comes from a special edition entitled "Ondulatories" which was designed and supervised by Victor Vasarely himself and it is with this same concern for quality that the Griffon editions took exceptional care of these series of albums printed in the 70s, identifiable by the copyright on the back of the prints.
