• This visually appealing work combines solid contrasts and geometric patterns.
• Vasarely's geometric-constructive abstraction is based on a standardized inventory of forms and colors, with which he evokes immediate sensations of matter, space, energy, and movement in the viewer.
• Vasarely participated in the documents in Kassel in 1955, 1959, 1964, and 1968 as a co-founder and key representative of Op Art.
