Lot No. 215


Victor Vasarely *


(Pecs, Hungary 1906–1997 Paris)
Torke-II, 1957-1973, signed; signed, dated “1957” and titled on the reverse, acrylic on canvas, 120 x 110 cm, framed

The authenticity of the present work has been confirmed by Pierre Vasarely, President of the Fondation Vasarely, universal legatee and the moral right holder of Victor Vasarely

This work is accompanied by a photo-certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

Provenance:
Art Club Cardinale 2, Milan (certificate available)
European Private Collection

Note:
This work has been conceived in 1957 and realized in 1973 c.

Among contemporary artists, Vasarely has probably contributed the most to the search for the infinite possibilities of a visual structure in which the eye endlessly overturns its perceptions of reality.
His work (expressed, in his words, in form-colour) involves the rational and fantastic element of a nature mise en fonction by man and is the constant counterpoint to this never-loosening tension.
