Typical plexiglas-multiple, which through movement reflects the contents of the OP Art

Since the late 1940s Victor Vasarely started to engage in the concept of geometric patterns and their influence on the senses. He explored and created his own abstract geometric language that carries a certain kinetic energy. The object presented here is a typical plexiglass-multiple, which through movement reflects the contents of the OP Art. The movable sides generate a ‘moving’ subject, thereby the overlapping lines create a seemingly floating image.



The Multiple is signed at the bottom center ‘Vasarely’. It is overall in good condition. Partially slight scratches on the front, in the upper center a lightly deeper abrasion visible. The lateral cloth binding with light signs of wear, otherwise overall of good impression. Dimensions: 38 x 33 x 6 cm.



Victor Vasarely

Victor Vasarely was born in Pécs in Hungary in 1906. He started studying at the Podolini-Volkmann Academy in Budapest in 1927. In 1930 he moved to Paris where he successfully worked as a graphic designer and started exploring the effect of geometric patterns on the senses. Through that interest he created his own geometric abstractions. The variations of these are image patterns with kinetic effects on the viewer. With this concept Vasarely created the basis and a fundament for the origins of Op Art. Between 1955 and 1968 he regularly took part in the Documenta. In 1976 he opened his Vasary foundation in Aixe-en-Provence and helped to build an institute for architecture. In the same year the city Pécs, where he was born, honoured him with a Vasarely museum. A second museum opened in 1987 at the castle Zichy in Budapest. (cru)
