Sinkoeb n°272 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, and catalogued as Benavides 1056.

The designation n°272 within the title is characteristic of Vasarely's systematic approach to the naming and organization of his works — a practice rooted in his belief in the dematerialization of artistic authorship and the inscription of each work within a larger, rigorously ordered visual and conceptual system. Each numbered title functions simultaneously as an identifier and a declaration of principle: the work is not an isolated gesture but a unit within a broader and coherent artistic project, as precisely organized and internally consistent as the optical and chromatic systems that give it its visual form.

Executed in 1988 — the same remarkably productive year as both Olla (Benavides 1054) and Sette (Benavides 1055) — Sinkoeb n°272 belongs to a concentrated final period of screenprint production in which Vasarely brought the full maturity, precision, and systematic intelligence of his practice to a sustained late engagement with the medium. At 81 × 71 cm, the work achieves a physical presence and optical impact of the highest order, giving the characteristic Vasarely vocabulary of shifting geometric form and carefully calibrated color relationship the scale and authority it demands. Catalogued as Benavides 1056 in the definitive reference for his printed oeuvre, the work is fully documented within the most authoritative scholarly record of his prints.

That same systematic engagement with geometric form and colour continues in Ustoek (1990), a large-scale screenprint from the final and most 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.
