Note: Note: This exhibition runs concurrently at PaceWildenstein's Midtown space (32 E 57th St).
In the mid-'60s, Time magazine's review of a MoMA exhibition brought the term "op art" into the public consciousness; since then, modernism's first fun art movement has been alternately celebrated, maligned, ignored, and now critically resuscitated. British painter Bridget Riley began her dizzying abstractions in the late '50s and never allowed the critical hullabaloo to affect her paintings. PaceWildenstein's Midtown and Chelsea branches share a survey of the artist's gouaches, large-scale drawings, and newest canvases, many of which are monumental in scale. Though Riley has dialed down the visual effects over the years, her networks of complex, interweaving forms have grown more organic and fractal. One of Britain's best, but least-celebrated, artists, Riley remains an ardent colorist — and is finally getting her due.
