Throughout her working life, Riley has preserved works of particular significance, creating an archive that records her constant artistic inquiry and development. The studies presented in the book are drawn entirely from this personal collection, with Riley's own input. They demonstrate the artist's progression from early figurative works, through the monochrome geometry of the 1960s, to the examination of color that has characterized the second half of her long career. The choice of work explores the themes that have absorbed Riley in different periods and highlights key influences: the importance of life drawing to her and the significance of artists such as Seurat and Mondrian. The book illustrates--literally and figuratively--the story of a productive and constantly experimental career, underpinned by drawing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for Modern Art Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 17, 2022-January 16, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHammer Museum, Los Angeles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (January 29-May 7, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Morgan Library \u0026amp; Museum, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (June 16-October 22, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Clarke\u003c\/b\u003e is Rothman Family Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eRachel Federman\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator of modern and contemporary drawings at the Morgan Library and Museum, New York. \u003cb\u003eCynthia Burlingham\u003c\/b\u003e is deputy director of curatorial affairs at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. \u003cb\u003eThomas Crow\u003c\/b\u003e is the Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Modern Art Press, Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50562058551570,"sku":"9781916347489","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_efe7dfe6-df17-4e55-b758-1fb9bbac932c.jpg?v=1731856817","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/bridget-riley-drawings-from-the-artists-studio-9781916347489","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
