Vasarely Help Please

Hello,

I found this piece while doing to my daily junking. Any info on what the value might be would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks friends

 

Maybe easier to read when rotated

 

All the info is on the sideways label - what else would you need

..and that's one weird username mate!

 

Weird is right ..

 

that looks just like it thank you

 

Think it's exactly what it says it is. And lucky you. Adele Bednarz was an art dealer in L.A. according to the internet.

We've seen that group here before. Or was it featured on Antique Roadshow? The Junior Affiliates of Fine Arts Patrons was an art rental gallery associated with the Newport Harbor Art Museum, which is now the Orange County Museum of Art.

Thank you Debora for your help

 

For a quick idea of value, you can go to 1stdibs and search for comparables under Prints and Multiples. At a glance, they're $1,000 +/- but many variables, of course, such as date, condition, number in edition, etc. Interesting choice of frame on yours, by way.

What has me stumped is it’s not numbered anywhere. Only on the back it shows “Signed Edition 100”. Could that be an issue? I was expecting somewhere on the piece for it to say “5/100” <— (just an example).

Thank you for your help! I usually deal with vintage clothing, and am very clueless when it comes to artwork.

 

Nice 'junking' day, john

 

thank you, Sabre

 

Vintage clothing! How exciting! Not a clue re edition. Since from dealer, would assume accurate but... Wonder how we could go about finding name for your piece. Perhaps the museum...? Label has the consignment number. Must be a master list somewhere.

Quick internet search... The Newport Harbor Art Museum was at 400 Main Street, Balboa from 1962 through 1970. That's consistent with the telephone number on the label. (And as there's no 5-digit postal code, I'm assume earlier rather than later in that period.)

Thank you Debora for all your help! I’m going to research some more and will let you know if I’m able to find out the name.

 

Here you go... They will have the catalogue raisoneé.
