$2,750.00

OP Art Master Bridget Riley is represented by two offerings here The 1971 Kunsthalle Bern (Switzerland) exhibition Poster and its corresponding exhibition catalogue pictured. The illustration on both Poster & Book is from an early work titled ‘BLAZE’ 1964.

Visually, Riley’s work is immediate in its relation to perceptions of the eye (she was very inspired by Seurat) just as the Psychedelic explosion was arriving in London. Just to add in my research I discovered her paintings since 1961, have been executed by assistants from her own original sketches/studies. “Riley meticulously plans her compositions with preparatory drawings and collage techniques, it is her assistants who paint the final canvases with great precision.” (Wiki)

Illustrated is an original Exhibition viewing ticket as well as an original sketch of ‘Blaze’.

The catalogue is a 1st Edition, 1971.

Poster is framed in Silver Metal and UV Plastic glass- beautiful for a long life!
