This work on paper follows after two large acrylic canvases Entice 1, 1974 (49 x 40 inches, BR 163) and Entice 2, 1974 (60 3/4 x 54 1/8 inches, BR 164). It is painted in an identical palette of grey, pink, blue and green and is effectively a narrow section of the two earlier canvases. The first Entice painting was shown at Art Basel in 1975 and is now missing, the second, larger and slightly squarer, version was shown at the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York in 1975 and was subsequently included in many of Riley's most important solo shows including the Arts Council exhibition which toured the USA, Australia and Japan between 1978 and 1980; her 2003 Tate Gallery retrospective and another at the Musée d'art Moderne de la Ville, Paris in 2008. It was most recently included in Bridget Riley: The Curve Paintings 1961-2014 at the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague.
