The collection is composed of prints which depict geometric patterns of vertical, horizontal or diagonal stripes.

The simple patterns in these prints echo Riley’s philosophy that complexity lurks beneath the surface of simplicity. The print encourages the viewer to pay close attention to what they are looking at in order to find a deeper significance in the work.

Riley rose to fame in the 1960s with her captivating black and white paintings. The artist started to experiment with colour in 1967 and Print For Chicago 8 reflects the artist’s keen interest in how colour can expand the perceptual and optical possibilities of a composition.
