Bridget Riley’s institutional solo exhibition, conceived in close collaboration with the artist, will open at Turner Contemporary, Margate, on 22 November 2025. Exploring Riley’s continued dialogue with the sensory experience of sight and her connection with the natural world, the exhibition presents works from the ’60s, as well as her most recent paintings and wall paintings from the last decade. It also brings together Riley’s early figurative work with line, tone and colour – alongside later preparatory works on paper, showing how drawing has underpinned the artist’s working life.

We are delighted to announce Bridget Riley’s monumental work, Ascent (Wall Painting), 2023, is now part of the Centre Pompidou Collection. This is the first work from Riley’s ‘Wall Painting’ series to be acquired by the museum, and the only version designed by the artist to unfold in a vertical format. With its quintessential pattern of dots, the work refers directly to the origins of Riley’s practice, as well as to her career-long dialogue with the palette and pointillism of Georges Seurat.

Works by Hans Hartung and Bridget Riley are presented in VERTIGO, a group exhibition curated by Matthieu Poirier, at Fondation Carmignac. Exploring the vertiginous sensations created by the exalted experience of nature – disorientation, floating, and wonder – the exhibition applies a brand-new lens to the connections between the perception of natural phenomena and abstract art post-1950.

Bringing together around fifty works from museums, institutions and private collections, as well as from the Carmignac Collection, together with works created specifically for the exhibition, VERTIGO features artists who transcend figuration to question our relationship with the perceptible world.

Bridget Riley’s [Detail of] Bolt of Colour (Wall Painting) [Marfa], 2017, has been acquired by the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and is now on view in a new presentation of the museum’s collection. Inspired by the radiant light of the desert and colour schemes used in ancient Egypt, the wall painting was originally part of a large work installed at the Chinati Foundation.

Bridget Riley’s first ceiling painting, Verve, 2023, was unveiled on 4 May 2023 at the British School at Rome. Covering four barrel vaults of the ceiling in the artist’s ‘Egyptian palette’, the large-scale work appears in the foyer of the BSR. Since 2016, Riley has endowed the Bridget Riley Fellowship, which provides an opportunity for a young painter to spend six months developing their work at the school.

Thames & Hudson has published Bridget Riley: Working Drawings, the first-ever book dedicated to the celebrated British artist’s working drawings. This volume richly illustrates the thinking that goes into Riley’s work through a selection of over 150 drawings, colour analyses, notations, scale studies and cartoons, most of which were exhibited at the artist’s recent seminal retrospective exhibitions in Edinburg and London from 2019 to 2020 organized by the National Galleries of Scotland. The selection spans most of Riley’s working life, tracing the origins and evolving nature of her remarkable body of work. Riley’s beginnings are also documented through selected childhood drawings, work made during and immediately following her studies at Goldsmiths’ College and the Royal College of Art, and her early explorations into abstraction.

The artist’s working method is brought into high relief in a newly commissioned conversation with Riley and Sir John Leighton, Director of the National Galleries of Scotland. The text explores the cardinal moments in the artist’s practice and the impulses that bring her work into existence. The volume also includes four previously published texts dedicated to Riley’s studies and practice written by the artist herself, art historians, curators and museum directors, which shed further light on the enduring role of drawing and the process of exploration central to her work.
