- The pioneer of geomentric abstraction. - The combination of geometric calculation and joie de vivre is characteristic of Morellet's work. - As one of the founding fathers of the "Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel" ("GRAV, 1960-1968), Morellet has been at the center of Op Art and Kinetic Art from the very beginning. - Family-owned since it was made.
The work is registered in the Morellet Archive, Paris, under the number 71046. We would like to thank Mrs. Danielle Morellet, Paris, for her kind support in cataloging this lot.

Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia (acquired from the artist in 1972, with a dedication on the reverse)

Good overall impression. Slightly browned in the upper margin and all in all slightly soiled. With isolated traces of craquelure, as well as with isolated spots of loose paint layer. With a few small retouched spots and with small retouched color loss (approx. 1 cm) in the centre of the image. A small hole in the upper right part of the image. The condition report was compiled in daylight with the help of an ultraviolet light and to the best of knowledge.
