Published on the occasion of her 2015 solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Bridget Riley: Works from 1980-2015 presents paintings from the last thirty-five years of her career. These dynamic reproductions begin with stripe paintings from the 1980s and end with a coda of sorts -a return to black and white that ties back to her work from the 1960s, but bear traces of Riley's deep engagement with color in the interim. Also included is a selection of the artist's works on paper; taken together, these aspects of her practice reveal the variety she has achieved by developing and rediscovering different forms.
One of the most significant artists working today, Bridget Riley (b. 1931) is renowned for her abiding dedication to the interaction of form and color that has led to a continued exploration of perception. Riley was born in 1931 in London, where she attended Goldsmiths College from 1949 to 1952 and the Royal College of Art from 1952 to 1955.
Bridget Riley: Works 1981-2015 celebrates "[Riley's] enduring genius... Whether it's her early canvases or current pieces, throughout Riley's long career her work has consistently challenged the viewer's perspective."--Catriona Gray "Harper's Bazaar"
