A leading voice on Dada, Surrealist and Latin American art, the art historian

Recounting an art dealer's recuperation from major surgery in the famous Claridge's Hotel in London, this idiosyncratic novel interweaves reality with fantasy. Room 225-6 follows the author-character 'The Protagonist' around London's Mayfair as he hosts endless art world gatherings, tea parties for twenty and visits a multitude of local galleries and stores. Incorporating multi-layered voices and devices, the distinctive narrative introduces the reader to a memorable host of characters - from the 'The Political Prisoner' to 'The Little Mondrian' - in a tale filled with humour of observation and incident. Bringing to life this frightening yet extraordinary period in one man's life, it is at once honest, satirical, idiotic and bold.

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.
