Bridget Riley Flashback That I visited
25 September 2009 - 13 December 2009
Flashback is the first in a new series of monographic exhibitions from the Arts Council Collection; each exhibition will bring together outstanding early works by high profile British artists, and set them against major recent works borrowed from the artists themselves.
The series launches at the Walker Art Gallery with internationally renowned abstract painter Bridget Riley. It tracks her career from its sensational beginnings in the early 1960s to the ambitious and powerful works of recent years. (Information From Walker Art Gallery Website.)
