Victor Vasarely in the Echo

With a selection of Vasarely's prints, paintings and objects, the exhibition offers the Slovenian public a broader insight into the work of this outstanding Hungarian-French artist for the first time after many years. Vasarely established himself in the history of Western art after the Second World War with the distinct visual impression conveyed by the works of his most recognisable Op Art visual language. Equally important are his reflections and his decisive, sometimes utopian, standpoints on art, the status of the artwork and the role of the artist. The exhibition not only offers insight into Vasarely's art practice, but also sheds light on the local and regional arena, showing the reception of ideas that Vasarely helped to shape and advocate.
