Victor Vasarely Exhibition, Gordes

'L'Aphabet Plastique' exhibition

Location

An exhibition of the Hungarian-Franco artist, featuring many new original works from private collections. It celebrates 40 years of the Vasarely Foundation and the 110th anniversary of the artist.

Vasarely is widely regarded as the father of Op-Art and is considered a major master of 20th century art. During the 1960’s and 70’s his optical images became part of the popular culture, having an impact on architecture, computer science, fashion, and the way we now look at things in general. Even though he achieved great fame he insisted on making his art accessible to everyone. His motto was “Art for all”.

This retrospective attempts to establish a dialogue between the decorative arts from the Renaissance exhibitions in the Chateau de Gordes and Vasarely's plastic universe.

There are two further Vasarely exhibitions running in parallel in Avignon and Aix.
