Art Lecture: David Hockney - A Bigger Exhibition

A docent for the de Young museum in San Francisco will present a lecture on David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition. This show was assembled exclusively for the de Young and marks the return to California of the best-known British artist of his generation. It is the first comprehensive survey of Hockney’s work since 2002. As the title makes clear, this exhibition is grand in scope and scale. Many of the landscapes are of monumental proportions, including multi-canvas oil paintings and large-scale digital movies shot with multiple cameras, some requiring as many as 18 monitors for their display. More than 300 works in 18,000 square feet of gallery space make this the largest show in the history of the de Young.
