Bridget Riley: Circles Colour Structure - Studies 1970/71

An elegant exhibition catalog publishing, for the first time, this series of 22 gouaches. The book includes an interview between British artist Bridget Riley and her close friend Robert Kudielka, done in 1972, just following the creation of the works. The studies I make have different purposes, Riley said. Obviously, many studies will be discarded en route to a painting, though they may still be interesting as visual statements.
