A defining figure in 20th-century British abstraction, Bridget Riley (b.1931) revolutionised visual art through her dynamic explorations of perception, pattern, and colour. Her early black-and-white works of the 1960s — with their illusion of motion and energy — established her as a leading voice in the Op Art movement. Later series, introducing vivid colour and rhythmic geometry, cemented her status as one of the most important British artists of her generation.
Riley’s works continue to perform exceptionally well at auction, with strong collector demand for both her early monochrome prints and later chromatic compositions.
Riley’s art remains among the most sought-after within Modern British and Post-War abstraction. At Dawsons, her signed screenprints, limited editions, and original works regularly attract global interest, reflecting the enduring appeal and influence of her visual language. Each sale brings the opportunity for collectors to acquire examples from one of Britain’s most respected living artists.
