As far as I know Timothy Taylor is her primary gallery in the UK for original works:

I purchased this from them at Frieze 2 years ago.

Karsten Schubert is the primary gallery for her screen prints, including the publishing of this one.

As I said, I'm interested in swaps too, including combinations of swaps. I'll throw in a signed book from Riley's last London show too.

And it's a lot cheaper than most signed Banksy's that are from much higher editions and smaller in scale!

Thks for bringing this to the attn of the masses Pez, I think I'd need to see in the flesh as I find it optically challenging.....refreshing change.

It says ed.80 on the site but on the close-up pic it looks like 200. Bought one anyway so thanks for the heads-up. A nice little addition to my collection.

I saw one at Karsten Schuberts the other day it's lovely

should have bought a bigger bag...

were these the same price there?

only half the edition is available to institutions, I think Whitechapel, Barbican and Liverpool Art Gallery, the remainder will be sold by KS once the institutions sell out, his price will be more like 700-900. Same thing was done with the tate print when she had her show in there a few years ago.

Actually Silver you're not quite right. Op-Art was initially conceived by two British artists, Stanley William Hayter and Edward Wadsworth. Though neither called it nor saw themselves as op-artists and it was only a minor concern in their total artistic output. What people think of as op-art (the colourful patterns) came from Hayter's colour theory experiments from the 30's onwards, Vasarely, is pretty much considered the godfather of Op-Art but his work was really an extension and frankly bastardisation of what Hayter and Wadsworth were doing earlier. Most these op- theories have at their source the work that a group of British artist's most notably S W Hayter and Edward Wadsworth did in the early part of the century when designing camouflage for the British Army. Wadsworths main contribution was the development of Dazzle paint for battleships, Hayter worked on mechanized light machinery that worked with patterns to disperse the pattern in large objects such as tanks. The Zebras which is often credited as Vasarely's first op work is directly influenced by the Dazzle patterns Wadsworth was creating.

Riley, came to prominence in the early 60's and whilst she owes a debt to Vasarely her work is far more influenced by Wadsworth and Hayter.

As for owning a Vasarely over a Riley, frankly Vasarely whilst a talented artist was far too prolific, he over produced by such an extent that his prints are little more than attractive signed pieces of wall paper. Riley so far has resisted this urge and as a result has produced fewer than 70 prints (with edition sizes ranging from 20 to 300 which is by far the largest to date and is produced in this edition size purely to raise funds for Britain's ailing art institutions)

However if you want the real thing, and want to buy genuinely good and limited op- prints, hunt out SW Hayter's works from the 60's to late 80's generally they can be bought for under £700 and they are technically Brilliant. Anything earlier than the 60's goes in the thousands, and forget about owning a good Wadsworth, he produced few prints, and an example of a Dazzle ship will cost upwards of £80,000

Printguru - many thanks for taking the time to write that. It was the most interesting post I have read on here for ages!
Do you think an edition of 300 is that big for such a famous artist?

Couldn't agree more. Nice to know someone knows what their talking about

i agree.

I've been told that Liverpool will have some, and some also will go to the Barbican.

Winter could post a picture, as I would be interested to grow my op art collection and do not have not work from Bridget Riley.

Does anyone know if the print is totally sold out or if other dealers are still selling them?

Here's a picture of mine. Thanks for mentioning this Pezlow.
