In this 60-Second Gallery, broaden your mind with four remarkable examples from the Optical Art movement. The aesthetic roots of “Op Art” began in the 1950s, ultimately gaining wide-spread recognition with MoMA’s 1965 exhibition, The Responsive Eye. Works from Victor Vasarely, Julian Stanczak and Wojciech Fangor exemplify the captivating allure of the movement and are available in Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Online Sale.
