Sarah Howgate, senior curator of contemporary collections at the National Portrait Gallery, said:"Closing this five-star exhibition after just 20 days in 2020 was incredibly disappointing for the gallery and its many visitors, making this restaging of David Hockney: Drawing from Life all the more significant.
"Now revitalised with over 30 new energetic and insightful painted portraits of friends and visitors to the artist's Normandy studio, it is a real privilege to have the opportunity to collaborate with David Hockney again." Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Nicholas Cullinan, added:"Following our reopening and the success of a brilliant first summer, I am delighted to be restaging this major exhibition for David Hockney at the new National Portrait Gallery, which makes good on a pledge I made to David in March 2020 that we would return to his wonderful exhibition in better days.
"Hockney is one of the most internationally respected and renowned artists today, and to see his new portraits, made over the last couple of years and which demonstrate his constant and continuing ingenuity and creative force, is life-affirming."Related Topics
