About the Item

Victor Vasarely Granat (Garnet) Negatif, 1967 3-D color painted and carved wood relief Hand signed in black ink on the Denise Rene label on the back (see photos), Edition 8/50 Catalogue Raisonne: Benavides II, 1885 Frame included Hand signed in ink by Victor Vasarely on the label on back, and stamp numbered 8 of 50. (see photos) Published by Editions Denise Rene, Paris (with label verso) Gorgeous, bright color painted wood multiple relief, which would look beautiful in any home or office; a must have for Vasarely collectors, Op Art fans, collectors of geometric abstraction, and lovers of all things from the 1960s. The title "Granat" means both Garnet (the gemstone) and Pomegranate (the fruit) depending on which language, and it refers to the gorgeous rich garnet colored painted wood elements. Granat (negatif) was created in the 1960s - one of the most influential eras in the history of Op Art and in Vasarely's career. This work was published by the prestigious Galerie Denise Rene in Paris, the artist's longtime dealer, and it bears the original Denise Rene label on the verso. (Denise Rene would later go on to open a gallery in New York City). The original work has been framed in a museum quality white wood outer frame, which adds to the exquisite aesthetic, with the original labels are preserved on the back. Measurements: Artwork 15 by 14.2 Framed 16.5 inches vertical by 16 by 2.5

  • Soft Satellite Red
    By Richard Anuszkiewicz
    Located in New York, NY
    Richard Anuszkiewicz Soft Satellite Red, 1981 Silkscreen on wove paper Signed, dated and numbered 53 from the edition of 100 in pencil by the artist on the front. Bears label from Metzenbaum campaign on back of frame Vintage metal period frame included Terrific 1980s Op Art silkscreen, pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of only 100. This work is framed in its original vintage frame, and bears the label from the campaign for Metzenbaum for Senator - the longtime Democratic Senator from the state of Ohio, along with a biographical blurb on the artist. Don't forget that Anuszkiewicz studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art in the 1950s before studying with Albers at Yale - so it is not surprising that he would contribute this work several decades later to support a liberal politician from Ohio - where he once studied. (Anuszkiewicz was born in Eerie Pennsylvania). Measurements: Framed: 36 x 36 x 0.5 inches Artwork: 35 x 35 inches Provenance: Originally sold to raise funds for Senator Metzenbaum's campaign. Very good; the work is held in its original 1980s vintage frame...

  • Untitled #1, 1964 from New York Ten
    By Mon Levinson
    Located in New York, NY
    This dynamic work was realized by the esteemed 20th Century modern artist Mon Levinson in 1964. The work was realized in 1964, and printed in 1965 by Chiron Press in New York- the same year that Levinson was included in the seminal Op-Art exhibition "The Responsive Eye", alongside contemporary luminaries such as Bridget Riley. An identical work from this edition resides in the permanent collection of the New York MoMA. This mixed media work consists of an translucent vinyl sheet layered over a print- part etching, part lithograph. The clear vinyl sheet is embossed with a tight pattern of sinuously curved repeating black lines and is subtly raised in places- creating a subtle three dimensionality and dynamic sense of movement. The paper is inscribed with the same recurring pattern of snaking black lines, like a fine filigree, with two weighty black geometric forms that appear to crowd the composition. Smaller geometric forms reside within creating the apparition of negative space in the bone hued paper. The juxtaposition of the delicate texture and colossal feeling forms imbues the piece with a stunning dynamism and tension, helping to explain why Levinson is among the most influential and important artist to come out of the Op Art movement. His work is in the permanent collections of important institutions around the world including the Museum of Modern Art as well as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Signed by the artist and marked 18/200. The work comes presented in a custom walnut and white gilt frame...
