Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert
Modern & Contemporary British Art
Locations
Formed in 2002, Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert is an independent association between Hazlitt, the long-established London gallery, and James Holland-Hibbert. The gallery holds an extensive stock of paintings, drawings and sculpture by Modern and Contemporary British artists of international renown.
Since its establishment Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert has held numerous museum-quality exhibitions with works borrowed from public and private collections, including: _Lucian Freud – Early Works 1940-58_; _Barbara Hepworth | Ben Nicholson: Sculpture & Painting in the 1930s_; _Gerald Laing: Space, Speed, Sex_; _David Hockney – The Complete Early Etchings 1961-64_, _Howard Hodgkin: Memories. Paintings 1978-1999_; and _Patrick Heron: The Colour of Colour. Paintings 1965-77_.
For over a decade Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert has fostered a close relationship with the artist Bridget Riley, organising the seminal exhibition _Bridget Riley: Works 1960-1966_ dedicated to her monochrome work of the 1960s. In 2019, the gallery announced its representation of the estates of Patrick Heron (1920-1999), Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) and Richard Smith (1931-2016), and in 2024 Euan Uglow (1932-2000). Having worked closely with families of artists and foundations in the past, looks forward to announcing further partnerships in the future.

CURRENT EXHIBITION:
Bridget Riley: The Responsive Eye
17 East 76th Street #2
New York NY10021
T: +1 212 772 1950
5 - 16 May 2025
Open every day 10am-7pm
Marking sixty years since Bridget Riley’s inclusion in the landmark 1965 exhibition 'The Responsive Eye' at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this exhibition features an impressive selection of early black-and-white paintings and studies from 1961–1966.
The exhibition at MoMA was of huge consequence to Riley’s career and subsequent international reputation. It was a powerful endorsement by the great institution, which reproduced Current (1964) on the catalogue cover and whose curator, William C. Seitz, singled the artist out in the catalogue essay. The years surrounding this watershed moment were defined by a prolific period of experimentation. In 1961, Riley began her practice of pure abstraction in a limited palette of black-and-white, an aesthetic enquiry that lasted until 1966 when the artist began to introduce red and blue into her work.
The exhibition is curated with the support of Bridget Riley and her studio and includes five important paintings: 'Horizontal Vibrations [First Version]' (1961), 'Black to White Discs' (1962), 'Burn' (1964), 'Pause' (1964), and 'Blaze 4' (1964). Displayed alongside related studies, the show provides insight into this important period. During these years, Riley developed a unique visual language—manipulating and combining fundamental shapes to activate internal patterns of perception. These core principles have sustained her practice and continue to inform her work today
