Dia Beacon to Exhibit Bridget Riley's Early Black-and-White Works
Dia Beacon will mount an exhibition this summer focusing on Bridget Riley's early black-and-white paintings from 1961 to 1967, the period that established her as a defining figure of Op art. Riley, a leading post-war abstractionist, creates optical movement through simple geometric forms. Op art gained prominence in the 1960s, with Riley's work featured in the landmark 1965 MoMA survey 'The Responsive Eye,' which appeared on the cover of Time magazine. The Dia show revisits her foundational years.
