How was the Hockney exhibition?
Didn't get to catch the Hockney exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery? You missed a very good show.
David Hockney Portraits, the most comprehensive survey of Hockney's portraits to date, opened October 12 at the National Portrait Gallery to the delight of thousands. From his earliest self portraits as a teenager to his Cubist-influenced photographic collages of the 1980s and his recent camera lucida drawings, Portraits offered a fascinating visual diary of the personal life of one of Britain's most admired and innovative contemporary artists. This exhibition also provided a unique window to the late twentieth century worlds of art and celebrity, with portraits of leading cultural figures, such as Andy Warhol, Man Ray and W H Auden.
The definitive exhibition catalogue, fully illustrated with over 300 illustrations, by curators Sarah Howgate and Barbara Stern Shapiro, with essays by Mark Glazebrook, Marco Livingstone and Edmund White is published by the National Portrait Gallery in hardback.
