A turning point in colour, rhythm and perception.
Bridget Riley’s ‘Recollection’ (1986) — held in the same private collection for almost four decades — leads our Modern British Evening Sale as a radiant example of her groundbreaking diagonal 'zig' series.
Structured through a kaleidoscopic field of interlocking rhomboids, the painting pulses with vivid colour, marking Riley’s pivotal shift toward dynamism and movement in the mid‑1980s.
Executed at the dawn of this transformative period, 'Recollection' stands among the most important works of the series. Discover this landmark of British abstraction in our Modern British and Irish Art exhibition until 18 March.
