Historical Description

This original porcelain Rosenthal tile relief has been hand signed by Victor Vasarely (1906 - 1997) on a label affixed to the reverse.  Published by Rosenthal out of an edition of 100, this work is numbered 6/100 on the label, just beneath the signature.

About The Framing:

Conservation framed with archival materials and museum quality, this work is set in a modern black lacquer frame with a stepped profile.  The simplicity of the moulding accentuates the details in this work without detracting our focus on the image.  Completed with a black, linen-wrapped mat and a secondary inner frame.
