“Among the pioneering art movements of the 1960s, Op Art and Kinetic Art have received the least attention to date. They were often downgraded as too spectacular and therefore superficial. Wrongly so, because Op Art and Kinetic Art sharpen our awareness of the ambivalence of reality. They literally demonstrate that perception is not objective, but dependent on parameters such as context and viewer – with all the epistemological consequences.”

Josef Albers, Marcel Duchamp, Matthias Grünewald, Adolf Luther, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, and others.
