This elegant geometric silkscreen by François Morellet is a strong example of his systematic and optical approach to abstraction. The composition is built from a precise grid of alternating blue and green squares, creating a rhythmical visual structure that reflects Morellet’s interest in chance, seriality, mathematics and perception. The work belongs to the tradition of European concrete art and Op Art, where simple forms and strict repetition generate dynamic visual effects.

Morellet’s works are held in major international collections, and his practice remains highly regarded for its clarity, humour and intellectual precision. This 1972 silkscreen is an attractive and collectible work from an important period in his career, combining minimalist structure with a vivid optical presence.

Condition: Signed and numbered. Edition 159/180. Visible crease marks to the lower left corner and upper edge, as also noted in the auction information. Overall the image remains bright and visually strong. Please see the photos for the full condition impression.
