About Antonio Asis

Antonio Asis (1932–2019) was an Argentine painter, graphic artist, and draftsperson recognized as a leading exponent of Op Art and kinetic art in Latin America and Europe. Born in Buenos Aires, he trained at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes before relocating to Paris in 1956, where he spent the remainder of his career. Asis's work explores geometric abstraction, optical vibration, and the perception of movement through carefully constructed color relationships and repeating forms. In 1971 he cofounded Position, a collective of Paris-based Argentine artists committed to abstract and kinetic inquiry. His work was exhibited at the Paris Biennale in 1967 and at the Casa de Cultura de Grenoble in 1968, among other international venues. Asis's paintings and graphic works sit within the broader post-war tradition of constructive and perceptual abstraction that connects South American modernism to European kinetic circles.

Common works and media

Asis is best known for acrylic and oil paintings featuring concentric circles, vibrating parallel lines, and intersecting geometric shapes that create optical movement and color interaction effects. Screen prints and graphic editions also appear in the market, often repeating his signature chromatic-kinetic compositions. Smaller works on paper and ink drawings exploring geometric patterning are encountered as well. Collectors may find both large-scale canvas paintings and more accessible editioned prints across auction catalogues.

Market and appraisal context

Works by Antonio Asis appear on the international auction market as paintings, graphic works, and drawings in geometric and optical styles. Collectors and appraisers should consider medium, size, date of execution, condition, and exhibition or publication history when evaluating individual pieces. Provenance linking a work to his Paris period or to the Position group may provide useful biographical context. His position within the Argentine kinetic and Op Art movements alongside figures such as Julio Le Parc and Carlos Cruz-Diez frames his market relevance. As with many artists in this category, auction results can vary widely based on the quality and period of the work. Appraisals should reference comparable public auction records and, when possible, consultation with specialists in Latin American post-war art.
