The museum’s docents discuss the special exhibition Bridget Riley: Perceptual Abstraction. This exhibition is the largest survey in the United States in over twenty years of the British abstract artist Bridget Riley. For seven decades Riley has explored line, form, shape, pattern, and color to create dynamic works of art that pulse, shift, and glow with energy and movement. Our docents will discuss the exhibition, Riley’s history, and her influences over this impressive career.

Topography is central to William Hogarth’s canonical progress series, in which London settings play a decisive narrative role. Lesser-known works by the artist, however, also engage with topographical representation. Pierre Von-Ow’s online exhibition “William Hogarth’s Topographies” considers the artist’s illustrations of national and colonized geographies beyond the metropole. Among international topographical views are Hogarth’s illustrations of Sápmi in the Scandinavian north, referred to at the time as “Lapland.”
