François Morellet’s *2 Trames de Chevrons-Positif* (1959–1960) is a 62 x 62 cm silkscreen on cardboard that exemplifies his innovative approach to geometric abstraction. Featuring intersecting chevron patterns, the work creates dynamic optical effects through overlapping grids and precise alignments, blurring the boundaries between mathematics and art. A key figure in the Op Art and kinetic art movements, Morellet used calculated visual rhythms to challenge perception, making this piece a significant representation of his explorations during a formative period. Although unsigned, the silkscreen is an essential work for collectors interested in mid-century abstraction and the groundbreaking methodologies of François Morellet, a pivotal force in post-war geometric art.
