In November 1966, Julio Le Parc held his first solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Denise René. The exhibition featured his kinetic and optical artworks, emphasizing light, movement, and viewer interaction.
The catalog for the exhibition includes a text by art historian Frank Popper titled "Le Parc et le problème de Groupe," as well as a piece by the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel (GRAV), which Le Parc co-founded. The catalog is notable for its innovative design, incorporating reflective rhodoid sheets and black-and-white striped pages that created visual effects when viewed together.
The exhibition was a significant milestone in Le Parc's career, as it preceded his receipt of the Grand Prize for Painting at the 33rd Venice Biennale in 1966.
Julio Le Parc (b.1928)
Julio Le Parc is an Argentine-born artist known for his pioneering work in kinetic and optical art. Born in 1928 in Mendoza, Argentina, he became a leading figure in the Op Art movement and a key member of the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV) in Paris. His work explores light, movement, and perception, often using geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and interactive elements to engage viewers. Le Parc’s experiments with light projections, mobiles, and immersive environments challenge traditional artistic boundaries, making him one of the most influential figures in contemporary abstract and kinetic art.
