Bridget Riley: Works, 1960-1966 Details
Filled with iconic black and white paintings, studies and prints that mesmerise and challenge the viewer, Bridget Riley: Works 1960–1966 represents the foundation of the artist’s exploration of shape, movement and perception.Accompanying a two-part exhibition of the same name at Karsten Schubert, London, and Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert, London, this volume features over 40 works from the beginning of Riley's impressive career.Full-colour illustrations are presented alongside a selection of essays, including an interview with David Sylvester from 1967 that discusses the distinctive, optically vibrant works that Riley was making during this important period, and a conversation with Maurice de Sausmarez.
Reviews
Bridget Riley, the queen of op art, gets a beautiful monograph. The work looks better than ever, perhaps because she approached it as a Modernist (rather than a Surrealist) and even in a way as a Minimalist.
