Surprisingly, I haven't found any book ON Riley specifically, or Op Art
in general (though it's covered in most books on C20th and 60s art, but
usually in a couple of pages - one Riley and one Vaserly painting).
However, there are several catalogues from her shows available (think
there was a recent one in London, I got one for the retrospective in
Kendal last year) which are good - nice big prints of the pictures and
less art-waffle. The ISBN number for the catalogue should be in the
modslist archives, otherwise I'll try and dig it out. Beware that the
books listed on Amazon, etc, are mostly collections of her essays.
There's also a website where you can get things like original 60s
promotional material (invites, posters, tickets, etc) for a lot of 60s
art shows, including Riley.
