Bridget Riley The Complete Paintings

Bridget Riley, Robert Kudielka, Alexandra Tommasini, Natalia Naish

A stunning catalog bringing together for the first time the complete paintings of abstract artist Bridget Riley—a must-have for collectors of her work

Bridget Riley (b. 1931) trained as a figurative painter before emerging as one of the most prominent masters of Op-Art. Since then her abstract work has continued to garner critical acclaim and remains as relevant as ever—with a major new site-specific painting opening at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX, in October 2017, and an exhibition at David Zwirner Gallery, NY, in 2018.

This complete catalog of Riley’s paintings assembles her remarkable oeuvre for the first time, reproduced to the highest standards in a highly collectible five- volume box set: a must- have for devotees of twentieth century contemporary art.

Reviews

A reasoned and meticulously detailed register of over 600 works… One does not read Bridget Riley so much as experience it like a retrospective exhibition, in a progression that is as linear as the paintings for which she is best known: from her first paintings, copies of the pointillist Seurat, to studious geometric canvases to later mind-bending visual experiences that wink at the barriers of consciousness.
