Francois Bucher's critical analysis of the famed abstract artist's complex spatial illusions and concepts of perceptual ambiguity. An extension of Albers' most notable Homage to the Square series, this work assesses his graphic constructions that challenge the viewer's vision and questions the idea of rigid geometry; uncommon signed.
