Leading op-artist Bridget Riley has unveiled a new work at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague which breaks new ground for the UK artist. The piece, entitled Dance, is a window made especially for the museum’s reception area. Riley is thrilled with the luminescent installation, saying that “the daylight behind the window lends it an extra dimension, making the result even better than I’d hoped”. The museum has championed Riley, with one of her most famous works, Tremor (1961), part of the collection (this piece also comprises lots of black triangle motifs, in the same vein as Dance). Part of the cost of the Dance window is met through crowdfunding, via the sale of a silkscreen print by Riley.
