A fine UK first edition, first printing hardback set in a fine slipcase (very slight bumping to one corner) - Bridget Riley is one of the most important British painters of our time. Since the early 1960s, when she first gained recognition with her powerful black and white paintings, the artist has continued to explore the principles of abstraction in startling and original ways. Through her systematic engagement with colour, tone, form and structure, Riley pushes the boundaries of perception, challenging us to look at the world anew. This landmark publication brings together for the first time all of Bridget Riley’s known paintings, including well over 650 works ranging from the late 1940s to 2017. Each painting is illustrated with a full-page colour image, many of which have been sourced from the artist’s extensive archive and rarely published. Drawing on archival research and expert knowledge, the publication includes an introductory essay, explanation of materials and methods, extended exhibition history, biographical information and explanatory notes. The publication benefits from the remarkable input of Bridget Riley herself, who has been present at every stage of the project and has provided first-hand information about her work and exhibition and sales history. Bridget Riley: The Complete Paintings is a seminal visual resource and provides the most comprehensive overview of the artist’s paintings to date - All my books are always securely packed with plenty of bubblewrap in professional boxes and promptly dispatched (within 2-3 days) - SIGNED BY BRIDGET RILEY - Pictures of the book are available upon request - THIS IS AN EXTREMELLY HEAVY SET AND EXTRA POSTAGE COSTS WILL BE REQUIRED. …

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.
