Description:  Vasa Velizar Mihich(born 1933), known as Vasa, is an American artist based in Los Angeles, California.   Here is a vintage larger 3” cube signed and dated. We are offering three of these cubes separately as they were each created and sold as unique works, whereas the smaller examples were, and still are sold in sets of three, six and ten. We photographed these three together to show how a grouping would look in the home.

Mihich was born in Yugoslavia and moved to the United States in 1960.  An academically trained painter he was also a professor at the University of California in its Department of Design and Media Arts. He taught theories of color to understand interdependence and interaction of color and form, color and quantity, color and placement, and after-image. He makes laminated acrylic sculptures that reflect and refract light.

Vasa’s work has been exhibited in art galleries in the United States, Japan, and Italy and in the permanent collections of important public museums such as the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Denver Art Museum, the Phillips Collection, the Hammer Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art and many others. 

Condition: Very good.
