Bridget Riley: Flashback

Since the mid-1960s Bridget Riley has been celebrated for her distinctive, optically vibrant paintings that actively engage the viewer’s sensations and perceptions. The exhibition is a first in a new series of solo artist’s exhibitions from the Arts Council Collection and includes the iconic Movement in Squares (1962), which Riley credits as the beginning of her breakthrough into abstraction.
