For nearly six decades Bridget Riley has been making paintings that address our experience of looking and seeing in a dramatic and complex manner. She regards the development of her work and ideas as an ongoing process of artistic problem solving, inherited from artists of the past and handed on to future generations. This belief in the capacity of painting to continually renew its purpose within art history contributes to the enduring relevance of Riley’s vision and artistic ideology. Writer Michael Bracewell, art historian Suzanne Hudson, and curator Lynne Cooke will discuss Riley’s work and its relation to contemporary artistic thought and practice. Co-presented by Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art A special viewing of the exhibition 'Bridget Riley: Painting Now’ will take place across the street from LACMA at Sprüth Magers (5900 Wilshire Blvd) from 6 to 7 pm, so that visitors may see Riley's work in person before attending the panel.
