Victor Vasarely

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter and softer in the original work. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear in places along four extreme edges of the canvas, and in the upper and lower right corner tips. There are fine, stable small craquelures scattered in places throughout the composition, most notably visible on the surface of the white circular discs. There are four larger fine stable vertical cracks of approximately 10cm in length, three of which are descending from the right section of the top edge, and one that is ascending from the centre of the lower right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
