Detroit ? Why the Circus Left Town
Robert Riley writes about his life in the great city of Detroit and his career in the great American automotive industry. “I love Detroit,” he says, “but this story isn't about Detroit. Rather, the story is immersed in and influenced by Detroit—I was born and raised in middle-class Detroit, went to its schools and was inculcated into a set of values to which you will be exposed. In somewhat the same manner, like most Americans, I love cars, but this story isn't about cars. What I really, really loved was being immersed in the business of making American cars, starting at a time almost 60 years ago, when particularly the American automotive industry basked in almost universal admiration.” Detroit—Why the Circus Left Town is a definitive memoir of Riley's life and career that explores what caused the decline in the industry he loves and what we might be able to do to restore the vitality and exuberance that once made Motown the epicenter of America's love affair with the automobile.

Robert Kudielka on Bridget Riley
Since meeting Bridget Riley in 1967 art historian and critic Robert Kudielka has proved her keenest observer. This newly revised and expanded edition collates a substantial body of his essays on and interviews with the artist. For over 40 years, Robert Kudielka has documented Bridget Riley's career progress and artistic development in an academic and personal manner, reflecting his relationship with the artist. Moving from an analysis of Riley's iconic 1960s black and white paintings to her more recent wall drawings, Kudielka explores the unpredictable changes of direction throughout Riley's career. Accompanied by over 80 full-colour illustrations, biographical notes and bibliography, the texts in this volume provide a unique insight into Riley's working methods and styles. Bridget Riley and Robert Kudielka will launch the book at a signing at David Zwirner on Monday, 23 June.

The Camaro in the Pasture
Robert Riley has been a renowned figure in landscape studies for over fifty years, valued for his perceptive, learned, and highly entertaining articles, reviews, and essays. Much of Riley’s work originally ran in Landscape, the pioneering magazine at which Riley succeeded the great geographer J. B. Jackson as editor. The Camaro in the Pasture is the first book to collect this compelling author’s writing. With diverse topics ranging from science-fiction fantasies to problems of academic design research, the essays in this volume cover an entire half-century of Riley’s observations on the American landscape. The essays—several of which are new or previously unpublished—interpret chan...
Bridget Riley
Bridget Riley is one of the outstanding figures of modern painting. For thirty-five years she has pursued a course of rigorous abstraction, from her celebrated Op Art works in black and white of the 1960s to the complex colour paintings of the 1990s. On the occasion of a major exhibition of her recent work at the Hayward Gallery, London, in 1992, BBC Radio broadcast an illuminating series of five dialogues, each one between Riley and a well-known personality from the art world. These talks have been brought together in this volume, expertly edited by the art historian Robert Kudielka. With Neil MacGregor, Director of the National Gallery, London, she discusses the art of the past in relation to the present; with Sir Ernst Gombrich the perception of colour in painting; with the artist Michael Craig-Martin, the theory and practice of abstraction; and with the critics Bryan Robertson and Andrew Graham-Dixon she talks about the events and travels that have shaped her life as an artist.
