Victor Vasarely, Antares, 1970, Screenprint

A signed screenprint by Victor Vasarely, titled Antares and published in 1970 during the artist’s mature Op Art period. Executed in a refined black, white, and gray palette, the composition exemplifies Vasarely’s signature exploration of optical rhythm, geometric structure, and visual tension.

This work is pencil signed and numbered 109 from an edition of 250. The restrained monochrome palette gives the print a distinctly architectural presence, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into modern, minimalist, and postwar interiors while retaining strong graphic impact.

The print is offered unframed, with full margins visible, allowing the next owner complete control over final presentation. The sheet presents cleanly and confidently, making it well suited for collectors and design professionals seeking a serious work on paper from one of the most influential figures of 20th-century abstraction.

Why I Like It

There’s an ease to Antares, the geometry is precise but not severe. It’s a work that reveals itself gradually, rewarding time and attention while allowing the eye to move quietly across the surface. I’m drawn to Antares for its quiet confidence. Its balance and rhythm invite a thoughtful, even playful, approach to how it’s lived with and displayed.
