👉 Guided by our mediators, you will have the opportunity to embark on a journey to the heart of the geometric universe of Victor Vasarely. From the biography of Victor Vasarely through his experiments, his studio productions to his dream of building a foundation, the life and work of the master visual artist will have no secrets for you. On a journey of one hour, you will follow the mediators of the Foundation to discover the permanent exhibition Vasarely Plasticien. Then you will explore the monumental integrations of the father of Op Art in order to unravel the secrets of optical illusions, which will try to trap your gaze.

A total of 35 exceptional works are presented at the Vasarely Foundation, by Schneider, Atlan, Dewasne, Soulages, Mortensen and Boisecq.
