Bridget Riley Learning to see

Opening at 2pm on Saturday 22 November 2025.  

Turner Contemporary presents Learning to See, an exhibition by SPACE co-founder Bridget Riley.

The exhibition title chosen by Riley comes from one of Monet’s letters to Eugène Boudin, written late in life, thanking Boudin for being the first to teach him ‘to see and understand’.

Surveying Riley’s enduring connection with the natural world and her career-long study of the sensory experience of sight, Learning to See includes works from the late 60s, her most recent canvases, and wall paintings from the last decade. The exhibition also brings together preparatory works on paper showing how the practice of drawing has underpinned her working life.
