Nineteen Greys (complete set)
Signed Print

Bridget Riley’s Nineteen Greys serves as a significant collection within her oeuvre, reflecting her contributions to the Op Art movement. This series includes four screenprints, each displaying 19 carefully arranged grey hues that create an illusion of depth and movement. The screenprinting technique employed allows for a precise gradation of tones, enhancing the visual impact. Notable features include the meticulous arrangement and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which challenge the viewer’s perception. Comparatively, this series aligns with Riley’s broader artistic exploration of geometric abstraction, where simple forms evolve into complex visual phenomena. Produced in the context of the 1960s Op Art movement, Nineteen Greys encapsulates the era's interest in visual perception and reality, solidifying Riley's role as a key figure in contemporary art.
