On July 18, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo will open a new exhibit of Op Art, or art which manipulates depth, perspective, space and color through optical illusions.
Artists whose work is being shown include Josef Albers, Richard Anuskiewicz, Bridget Riley, Julian Stanczak and Victor Vasareli. Their work will be on display through Oct. 26.
