ART & EXHIBITIONS
Going Up Garrowby Hill, 2000. Oil paint on canvas
“ David is a hugely popular artist and rightly we should be putting on shows that people want to see. But at the same time it doesn’ t mean there is not something very serious about what he does. The fact they are visually pleasurable doesn’ t mean they are shallow.”
Alex Farquharson, director of the Tate Britain, said:“ David Hockney is without doubt one of Britain’ s greatest living artists. His practice is both consistent, in its pursuit of core concerns, while also wonderfully diverse. Hockney’ s 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.”
Following the showing in London, the exhibition will travel to the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Q
The David Hockney exhibition will be at Tate Britain in London until May 29. Adults £ 17.50. Under 12s free – up to four per family adult. Family tickets available.
