Overview

Bridget Riley: Flashback is the first in a new series of monographic exhibitions from the Arts Council Collection. Each exhibition will bring together outstanding early works by high profile British artists, and set them against major recent works borrowed from the artists themselves. Produced in close collaboration with the artist, this book tracks Bridget Riley's career from its sensational beginnings in the early 1960s to the ambitious and powerful paintings and works on paper of recent years. It includes an essay by Michael Bracewell and a new piece of writing by the artist describing the genesis of her iconic painting, Movement in Squares (1961). A chronology illustrated with archive photographs and an illustrated inventory of works by the artist in UK public collections complete this rich survey.
