Bridget Riley: The Stripe Paintings 1961-2012 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781905464760)

Filled with Bridget Riley's mesmerising stripe paintings, this catalogue conveys the artist's unique development in using stripes to animate the entire visual field.

Published in conjunction with the Bridget Riley: The Stripe Paintings 1961-2012 exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, key paintings and studies of Riley's stripe works are collected for the first time. This well-illustrated title demonstrates how Riley reguarly returned to this seemingly simple pictorial device to achieve complex, surprising results.

The volume includes full-colour illustrations alongside important texts by John Elderfield and Paul Moorhouse - in both English and German - which situate these exhiliarating works within the artist's ouevre and a broader art historical context.
