Exhibition Bridget Riley: Looking and Seeing, Doing and Making
10.6.– 21.8.2022
The British artist Bridget Riley is one of the most prominent representatives of post-war abstract painting. The starting point of the exhibition Bridget Riley: Looking and Seeing, Doing and Making on display at the Zentrum Paul Klee from 10 June until 21 August 2022 is a visit Riley made to Egypt from 1979–1980, which had a profound effect on the development of her colour work. Bridget Riley herself has made the selection of works with which she retraces the twenty-year creative period following that visit. Furthermore, the exhibition includes rarely shown preliminary work, drawings and studies, which reveal Bridget Riley’s day-to-day life in her studio.
