Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An exhibition of work by the British artist famous for making the mind boggle and see spots opens at the National Gallery tomorrow.
Bridget Riley's 'Paintings and Related Work' focuses on her most recent paintings and includes two works which will be made directly onto the gallery walls.
The abstract artist, famed for her pictures of spots and zig zag shapes, has been taking another creative track recently inspired by the Old Masters, and a copy of van Eyck's Portrait of a Man (Self Portrait?) is among the exhibition highlights.
The National Gallery itself features strongly in the exhibition, parts of which are a nod from the artist to the gallery for the inspiration the artworks it houses have served Riley with.
In a film screened to accompany the exhibition, Riley explains her lifelong artistic relationship with the National Gallery’s collection.
Bridget Riley: Paintings and Related Work opens to the public from 25 November until 2011.
