Claire Vasarely – Fondation Vasarely, France

Long overshadowed by Victor Vasarely, Claire Vasarely (born Klára Spinner) is now emerging in all the richness of her personal work.
The Vasarely Foundation is dedicating a unique retrospective to this French artist of Hungarian origin.

This major exhibition reveals a unique, bold and polymorphic artistic journey. Trained at the Műhely in Budapest – often nicknamed the 

“Hungarian Bauhaus” -, Claire explored a wide range of practices from the 1930s: painting, decorative arts, fashion design, advertising posters and even tapestries.

This exhibition finally brings to light a key figure of the Hungarian avant-garde and of 20th-century female creativity.

Organized in partnership with the Vasarely Museum in Pécs (Hungary), the retrospective draws on previously unpublished archives and a selection of rare works retracing the career of an independent, free and visionary artist.
