New York Exhibition
Hockney begins editioning portraits from his inkjet-printed computer drawing series. In October, he exhibits new paintings in his first major show in New York in over twelve years, David Hockney: Recent Paintings at PaceWildenstein. The double-venue exhibition features small and large oil on canvas paintings of woods, felled timber, blossoming hawthorn, and panoramas of the East Yorkshire hills. Stephen Mueller writes in Art in America: “Color ranges from fanciful to outrageous—red shadows, lavender trail, turquoise tree trunk …. [Hockney] seems to be enjoying himself immensely, and we share the pleasure.”
