Books by Robert Kudielka

This catalogue features three new paintings by Bridget Riley that bring the artist's exploration of the circle from the wall to the canvas, and from black and white to colour.

Eight never-before-seen gouache studies are at the centre of this volume, illustrating Bridget Riley's dynamic approach to colour. This volume documents a group of gouache studies by Bridget Riley from 1969 to 1972 that reflects a major reconfiguration of Riley's style. The shapes formed in these gouaches are arranged from a limited selection of colours - namely violet, green and pink - to explore the visual relationship between 'contrast and harmony'. Accompanying full colour illustrations, a conversation between the artist and Robert Kudielka from 1972 posits the works within the context of Bridget Riley's oeuvre.

Bringing together over 20 gouache studies by celebrated British Op artist Bridget Riley, along with an artist interview, this catalogue explores Riley's process and the effects of her decision making.
