About this artwork

Bridget Riley, a native of London, refined her artistic skills at Goldsmith's and the Royal College of Art. She's considered the preeminent figure of 'Op Art' in the UK. Early in her career, Riley worked primarily in black and white, before introducing colour in 1967. Her solo exhibitions in 1962 and 1963, along with a series of international shows in 1964, solidified her global reputation for her meticulously created paintings with striking 3-D effects. The 1968 Venice Biennale awarded her the International Prise for Painting. Retrospective exhibitions of her work have taken place at the Hayward Gallery (1992), the Tate (1994), and the Serpentine Gallery (1999).An extensive exhibition of her work was displayed at the Scottish National Gallery, in cooperation with the Hayward Gallery, from June to September 2019. The exhibition included early paintings and drawings, black-and-white pieces from the 1960s and studies that shed light on her creative process. This large-scale exhibition, which showcased her 70-year career, was also featured at the Hayward Gallery from October 2019 to January 2020.Ida Kar, a Russian photographer, was born in Tambov, not far from Moscow. Kar was inspired by the Paris avant-garde during her studies there in 1928 and later set up her photography business 'Idabel' in Cairo. In 1945, she relocated to London with her second husband, the artist and critic Victor Musgrave. After the launch of Musgrave's Gallery One in D'Arblay Street, Soho, Kar photographed and presented 'Forty Artists from Paris and London' (1954). Still, her crowning achievement was her highly acclaimed solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1960. Her most well known portraits capture the bohemian lifestyle of the artists and writers she socialised with.
