VICTOR VASARELY
VICTOR VASARELY (FRENCH/HUNGARIAN, 1906-1997) "VEGA PAL V" 1971 Screenprint. Signed 'V. Vasarely' (lower right) and numbered '224/267' (lower left). Published by Denise Rene. Printed by Arcay. Reference: Benavides 158.Artist BioVictor Vasarely (Hungarian, 1906-1997)
Victor Vasarely was a Hungarian French artist, who is widely accepted as a grandfather and leader of the Op Art movement. Vasarely was trained as an artist in Budapest in the Bauhaus tradition. In 1930 he left Hungary and settled in Paris, where he initially supported himself as a commercial artist but continued to do his own work. During the 1930s he was influenced by Constructivism, but by the 1940s his characteristic style of painting animated surfaces of geometric forms and interacting colors had emerged. Vasarely’s style reached maturity in the mid-1950s and 1960s when he began using brighter more vibrant colors to further enhance the suggestion of movement through optical illusion.

ANDY WARHOL (1928-1987) "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, 1975" Silkscreen print in colors on Arches wove paper. Signed, numbered '28/125', and dated '75 in pencil (on verso). Reference: FS II134.Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987)
Andrew Warhol Jr. was born to Austro-Hungarian emigrants on August 6th, 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1945, Warhol enrolled at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, now known as Carnegie Mellon University. There, he studied commercial art, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in pictoral design in 1949.
Upon graduating, he moved to New York City, where his career began in commercial and advertising art. Following some successful solo and group exhibitions in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Warhol established a studio on East 47th Street in New York, which would become known as The Factory - a gathering place for a wide range of artists, performers, celebrities, playwrights, and wealthy patrons. Using a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture, Warhol examined the intersection of celebrity culture, advertising, and artistic expression. Though controversial due to his seemingly open embrace of consumerist culture, Warhol has been celebrated as a leading figure in the pop art movement and as a visionary whose work captures the spirit of mid-20th century American culture.
Warhol died in Manhattan on February 22nd, 1987 at the age of 58. He and his work have been the subjects of numerous posthumous exhibitions, books, and films, and his creations have become highly sought-after collectibles.
