Bridget Riley

This extensive exhibition, which took over both floors of the Royal Scottish Academy, was the first museum survey of Bridget Riley’s work to be held in the UK for 16 years, and the largest exhibition of her work to be shown in Scotland. Spanning over 70 years of work, it focused on the origins of Riley’s practice and traced pivotal moments across her acclaimed career. It featured very early paintings and drawings, many of which were being exhibited for the first time, iconic black-and-white paintings of the 1960s, Riley’s expansive explorations into colour, wall paintings and works made this year, as well as studies that reveal Riley’s working methods.
