Olla is a color screenprint, executed in 1988 by Victor Vasarely — the founding father of Op Art and one of the most celebrated and widely collected artists of the twentieth century — signed and numbered from the edition of 250, published by Georges Fall and Galerie Lahumière in Paris, bearing the publisher's blindstamp, and catalogued as Benavides 1054.
Executed in 1988 — in the final decade of Vasarely's career, at a moment of sustained artistic productivity and continued international recognition — Olla belongs to a body of late screenprints in which the full technical and chromatic maturity of his practice is brought to bear on his most refined and systematically developed visual language. The title — Olla, the Latin word for a large earthenware vessel — is characteristic of Vasarely's naming practice, in which geographic, cultural, and material references from across the breadth of human civilization are brought into dialogue with his universal visual language of form, color, and optical transformation.
Published by Georges Fall and Galerie Lahumière — Vasarely's long-standing publisher and primary Parisian gallery representative respectively, and together the most authoritative institutional voices in the production and distribution of his printed editions — Olla carries a publication history of the highest distinction. The publisher's blindstamp provides a permanent and authoritative guarantee of provenance and authenticity, while the Benavides 1054 catalogue raisonné reference places the work within the most rigorous scholarly documentation of Vasarely's printed oeuvre.
That same systematic engagement with geometric form and colour appears in Sette (1988), a screenprint on Arches paper from the same late, mature phase of his print production. A rarer state can be found in Hokaido (1984), justified II/L from an exclusive roman numeral series bearing the publisher's blindstamp — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
The work is in very good condition.
