Bridget Riley

Overview

In 2012 Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert and Karsten Schubert presented, Bridget Riley: Works 1960–1966, the first exhibition ever solely dedicated to the artist’s iconic black and white period. Spread over both galleries the show featured forty-five works, including major paintings from public and private collections, gouache studies as well as the complete prints.

The show was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue which features three major historic texts; interviews with Maurice de Sausmarez and David Sylvester both conducted in 1967, and ‘Perception is the Medium’ (1965), which is a manifesto-style text in which Riley sets out her artistic position with the clarity for which all her writing since has become famous.
