Description:
|
|
Vasarely added the Necker's or Kepler's cube and the axonometric cube to his works in the 1970s and 1980s. The Necker's cube is a hexagon with parallel lines added to create a three-dimensional cube. The axonometric cube is formed by dividing an equilateral hexagon into three identical rhombuses. Both of these cubes create a visual trick where the cube can switch between being perceived as concave and convex. These cubes are often used in optical illusions. This painting was sold at Sotheby's on March 9, 2011. There is also a limited edition of screen prints titled "Sinvilag" (without the "A" in the title) which matched this work.
