Hokaido is a color screenprint, executed in 1984 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 justified II/L from the edition of 250 numbered proofs, published by Galerie Lahumière and Georges Fall in Paris, bearing the publisher's blindstamp, and catalogued as Benavides 969.

The justification II/L — denoting the second impression from the roman numeral series of fifty — places this work within the most exclusive and carefully documented tier of the edition, distinct from the standard Arabic-numbered proofs and carrying a particular collector significance within the full run of 250. The publisher's blindstamp — the official mark of Galerie Lahumière and Georges Fall — provides an additional and authoritative guarantee of provenance and authenticity.

Victor Vasarely stands as the most important and systematically rigorous theorist and practitioner of Op Art — a practice rooted in the precise manipulation of geometric form, color relationships, and optical illusion to produce works of extraordinary retinal dynamism and spatial complexity. His screenprints of the 1970s and 1980s — executed with the technical precision and chromatic sophistication that the silkscreen medium uniquely enables — are among the most compelling and widely collected works in his printed oeuvre, bringing the full visual intelligence and optical power of his painting practice into the intimate and reproducible format of the fine art print. Published by Galerie Lahumière — one of the most distinguished and historically significant galleries in the French contemporary art world, and Vasarely's primary Parisian gallery representative — and by Georges Fall, his long-standing publisher, Hokaido carries a production and publication history of the highest institutional distinction.

The work is in very good condition.
