About the Item

These 4 towers are some of the largest and earliest works we have handled by Vasa . These were purchased as a series of 4 and signed and dated on one piece. The condition of all 4 is superb! Vasa is an academically trained painter and a senior Professor of Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. Born in Yugoslavia, Vasa has lived in Los Angeles since his arrival in the United States in 1960. His studio, designed to accommodate the technology required for his work, is located in the heart of Los Angeles. Here he creates and makes all of his art. An innovative sculptor, Vasa is best known for his luminous prism sculptures. For more than thirty years, his work has continuously evolved and changed as he has explored the absorption and reflection of pure light. Based on simple Euclidean shapes - the triangle, square, circle and rectangle, - his laminated acrylic forms are composed of layered filters of colored planes that vary according to the source and placement of ambient light. About Vasa Vasa’s sculptures are included in the permanent collections of many museums and corporations in the United States, Europe and Asia, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, Los Angeles, California; Wilhelm Lehmbruek Museum, Duisber, Germany; Musees Royaux des Beaux- Arts de Belgique, Art Moderne, Brussels, Belgium; Museum of Modern Art, Belgrade, Yugoslavia; Denver Art Museum, Denver, Colorado; Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.; Honolulu Academy of Art, Honolulu, Hawaii; Milwaukee Art Center, Bradley Collection, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; Palm Springs Desert Museum, Palm Springs, California; Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Los Angeles, California; and San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, California A senior Professor of Design at the University of California, Los Angeles, Vasa is an innovative, internationally known sculptor whose creative work explores the three dimensional interactions of light and color. With an advanced understanding of optical complexities, Vasa has become, in the words of Henry Seldis, former art critic of The Los Angeles Times, "the most sensuous and sensational colorist of the southern California artists working in plastic." Born in Yugoslavia in 1933, Vasa Mihich, an academically trained painter, became a member of the faculty at the University of Belgrade in 1956. During a visit to Paris that same year, Vasa became aware of the growing importance of American art, and four years later he immigrated to the United States.
