Paintings from Hockney’s overwhelmingly successful traveling exhibition, “A Bigger Picture,” are coming to San Francisco’s de Young Museum

16 Oct 2012

Select works from David Hockney’s overwhelmingly successful traveling exhibition, “A Bigger Picture,” are coming to San Francisco’s de Young Museum next year - his first exhibition stateside in six years.

Announced by Carol Vogel in the New York Times, she described the scope of the upcoming exhibition:

The San Francisco show, as yet unnamed, will include monumental works inspired by the landscape of Mr. Hockney’s youth in Yorkshire, England, which he returned to in 1997. (He divides his time between Yorkshire and Los Angeles, where he has lived on and off for more than 30 years.)

The show, scheduled to run from Oct. 26, 2013, through January 2014, will include previously unseen movies, filmed simultaneously on 18 digital cameras and shown on 18 55-inch monitors installed in a grid on the wall. One film shows acrobats juggling. - Carol Vogel, NY Times, October 11, 2012

“David Hockney: A Bigger Picture” is now entering the last leg of its European tour, and will be on view at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany from October 26, 2012 - February 3, 2013.
