About the Item
Vasarely, Victor
Oltar Zoelo - I - 1970's
Multi Wave Cube Silkscreen, Acrylic Glass sculpture
Hand Signed And Numbered in black marker.
Edition: 115/200
Size with base: 7.5 x 4 x 4 inches.
Condition: In excellent condition
Executed in three dimensions, “Oltar Zoelo” multi-wave cube can be treated as an embodiment of all Victor Vasarely’s ideas juxtaposed to each other. A perfect cube, it is made of completely transparent acrylic glass, adorned with recognizable optical art design on each of its six sides. Every design is enhanced by one color, while the basic optical illusion of emerging ball remains the same, despite differing details. However, when seen from any of the sides, this multi-dimensional piece demonstrates its true complexity, in which colors and illusions merge, creating a seemingly endless universe of geometry within one small cube. It’s as if his famous piece “Vega Nor” from 1969 is deconstructed and each of its constituents now occupies one side of the cube, creating the effect of the masterpiece even more puzzling. A quintessence of the artist’s work is captured within this piece, as it captures our attention to this day, sometimes for hours.

Victor Vasarely
Widely considered the grandfather of Op art, the French-Hungarian painter Victor Vasarely (1906–97) created eye-popping geometric abstractions that play with the viewer’s perception of depth, perspective and motion. A classic example is the 1937 Zebra, which consists of undulating black and white stripes that suggest the form of the titular animal through optical trickery. The work is often credited as the earliest Op art painting.
Such illusions were more than pleasing tricks for Vasarely, who insisted that “pure form and pure color can signify the world.” He wanted to “democratize” art by producing works in large editions at reasonable prices that were understandable across national and cultural boundaries. In the 1960s, he developed an alphabet plastique, or fine art alphabet, consisting of elementary visual building blocks that could be used in endless combinations to create original compositions. By employing this universal visual vocabulary and stripping away topical references, he sought to create what he called a “Planetary Folklore.”
Embodying Vasarely’s singular belief that art should serve a social function, accessible to all, these innovations may perhaps be his greatest contribution to 20th-century art.

Victor Vasarely (French/Hungarian, 1906–1997) is known as the father of the Op Art movement. As a painter, he created intricate abstractions that suggested depth and dimensionality using a variety of optical illusions, with surfaces seeming to bulge out of the canvas. His works present color, form, and pattern as a single interconnected element—a concept that was critical to the foundation of the Op Art movement and the focus of his mature works.
Vasarely initially studied medicine at the Budapest University in his early 20s, only to abandon his medical studies to attend to the Muhely Academy, the center of the Bauhaus movement in Budapest. While there, he was profoundly influenced by the work of color theorist and artist Josef Albers, as well as the Constructivist methods promoted by artists such as Wassily Kandinsky. While Vasarely’s earlier work was concerned more with color theory, during the 1950s and 1960s his work became more focused on the optical potential of the two-dimensional surface. He began to use complex and colorful patterns to actively engage the viewer’s eye, and to convey a sense of kinetic energy across the two-dimensional surface.
