Historical Description:
Created in c. 1975 this original, 100% wool tapestry is the only example from the rare, uncompleted edition of tapestries featuring this composition by Yvaral. Original authentication documentation accompanies this work, certified by Ms. Michèle Vasarely.
Hexagons are delineated in infinite numbers up above and angular, triangle-compositions create a 3-D visual illusion attributed to this unique Op Artist. Yvaral’s work is best known for the gridded effects he creates that break up an image or become the entire image itself as seen with this work. Completely abstract, the repetition of grey, black, and white causes the viewer’s eye to play tricks on them as the focus moves from the foreground and into the horizon line.
Provenance:
~ Private Collection, Germany

Biography of Jean Pierre Vasarely Yvaral
Combining the poetry of geometry with figurative art, Yvaral has created a wholly original body of artworks that has received the praise of important critics and museum curators around the world.
Born in France, Yvaral grew up in a complete artistic ambiance. Working alongside his father, Victor Vasarely, he discovered and explored the beauty of geometry in art. The inspiration of the French Impressionists and Pointillists is evident in Yvaral's vibrant paintings. The artist juxtaposes pure colors next to one another to achieve the illusion of three-dimensional forms.
