Tate to Exhibit Ultimate David Hockney Retrospective




We at ArtInsuranceNow.com are excited that Tate Britain is staging the most extensive retrospective of David Hockney’s work to date in February 2017. As his 80th birthday approaches, over six decades of Hockney’s work will be shown at the U.K. institution including painting and drawing, as well as prints, photography and videos.
From his first one-man show when he was 26 in 1963 he most recently exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Australia (DAVID HOCKNEY: CURRENT). He is credited as being one of the most influential living artists.
Tate Britain’s director Alex Farquharson has said: “David Hockney is without doubt one of Britain’s greatest living artists. His impact on post-war art, and culture more generally, is inestimable, and this is a fantastic opportunity to see the full trajectory of his career to date.”
Hockney is also quite the armchair philosopher and a search of the internet will find many quips and quotes, A book on art conservation which cites an AXA Art Insurance funded research laboratory quotes him as saying “Love will decide what is kept, and science will decide how it is kept”.
