Vasarely's last great optical illusion has jumped off the canvas and distorted reality 😊

In April 2023, an FBI task force raided the home of Michèle Taburno-Vasarely in Puerto Rico, seeking 112 artworks by Victor Vasarely and his son Yvaral. The raid was part of a long-standing legal dispute over the ownership of these artworks, which Michèle claims were gifts, while her stepson Pierre Vasarely argues they belong to the Vasarely Foundation. The case has drawn international attention and highlights the complexities of inheritance disputes in the art world, particularly regarding the legacy of Victor Vasarely, a prominent op-art artist. The ongoing feud has implications for both the Vasarely Foundation and Michèle's foundation in Puerto Rico, with the fate of the artworks still uncertain.
