Description

Tent. Frankfurt am Main, 26-09-2018, 13-01-2019. - Retrospectief toont een breed overzicht van het werk van de Hongaarse kunstenaar Victor Vasarely. - Coll. VAM: Vasarely, Victor, Silur, 1952, p. 102 ill. kleur. - Cofounder of Op Art, Victor Vasarely forged a bridge between interwar abstractionism and the postwar avant-gardes with a vast oeuvre spanning more than six decades and incorporating all manner of styles and influences. Vasarely began his career in advertising as a graphic designer, and his art blurred the boundaries between the fine and applied arts -between, for example, a panel painting and a poster.Assembling 120 works from both European and US collections, and published for a major European survey, Victor Vasarely: In the Labyrinth of Modernismtraces the roots and genesis of this often-misrepresented artist based on key pictures and objects, arguing for an alternative vision of 20th-century art history in terms of both genealogy and genre
