Bridget Riley: Flashback is the first in a new series of monographic Hayward Touring 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. This book tracks Bridget Riley's career from its sensational beginnings in the early 1960s to the ambitious and powerful paintings and works on paper of recent years. It includes an essay by Michael Bracewell and a new piece of writing by the artist discussing the genesis of a key early painting, Movement in Squares (1961). A chronology illustrated with archive photographs and an illustrated inventory of works by the artist in UK public collections complete this rich survey. Published to accompany the exhibition Bridget Riley: Flashback touring in 2009/10 to Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery; Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery; and Southampton City Art Gallery.
