Victor Vasarély (1906 - 1997) was a French Hungarian-born artist often acclaimed as the father of Op-art.
This is the roof of the Congress Centre on Avenue Princesse Grace and is part of what was once known as Loew's Hotel. (Some hotels have a habit of changing names - and presumably owners - in Monaco). The work is called Hexagrace - Le Ciel, la Mer, la Terre.' (Sky, Sea and Earth) The Fondation Vasarély in Aix-en-Provence was responsible for its execution.

I like it. At first, I was hoping it was a swimming or wading pool.
Beautiful, Vasarély and the horizon, just great! Is one of the greatest of S. XX.
I wish there was more of this on buildings. It adds so much.
When I first opened this I thought it might be a very colorful helicoptor port. This is quite striking.
It looks like the pattern blocks designs my grandchildren like to make. This is just beautiful!!

Ehm... Naughty fab, at first I thought it's an heliport. (Sorry Mr. Vasarély)
Great pic, well done.
Here's something fun, did you take these pictures?
