Victor Vasarely was a Hungarian-born artist who used ideal mathematical forms throughout his career. Simple geometry provides the foundation of his optical art.
He would also skew otherwise "regular" geometrical shapes to suggest a dimensionality on the flat surfaces of his paintings.

Vasarely sculptures are very impressive pieces. One of the pieces that you display above (2nd image) is called "Duo-2" from 1967. And I think the 3rd image is "Vega-Tek" or something like that, worth $100k+.
I am currently looking into these Vasarely works.
An amazing artist Vasarely was. Thank you for this post.
Andrew, you're right! Vasarely was an amazing artist, and it would be neglectful of me to ignore his sculptures... perhaps my next post?
I think a Vasarely sculptures post would be a great idea. The artist "Yvaral" is the son of Vasarely who made similar works. You should check him out as well.
