“Untitled,” Opus 161, 1965/66

This work, in the opinion of the owners, is one of Wilfred’s finest works. A still image from it is featured on the cover of the Pompidou catalog for the exhibit and on the official posters of the exhibit.

The animation, featured here, is a Flash based 'movie' made up of 30 still images taken from Wilfred's Opus 161., and produced for us by the Pompidou Centre, Paris. Special thanks to Michel Fernandez of the Centre Pompidou for producing this animation and for permission to use it here.

This will, hopefully, give you an idea of how the colours and shapes change over time.

The actual composition is not discontinuous and does not fade in and out, but is continuous. This animation is only an attempt to give you a "feel" of what the actual composition looks like.
