Acquired directly from the above by the present owner


In investigating the convergence between art and science, Victor Vasarely, the "grandfather" of Op Art, came to create one of the most celebrated artistic movements of the 20th Century. Inspired by his time at the Bauhaus-inspired Műhely Academy in 1929, Vasarely dedicated his work to furthering the concepts central to the famous German art school: whereby to utilize pure geometry and create visual cohesion across architecture, art and design. The artist worked across a variety of media including oil, acrylic, collage and sculpture, producing a body of work over five decades that rivals the other titans of 20th Century art.
