EXHIBITION
DAVID HOCKNEY
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is pleased to present David Hockney’s first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan in 27 years. Born in Bradford, England, in 1937, Hockney is considered one of the most innovative artists of the postwar era. For over 60 years, he has produced diverse works in a variety of fields, from painting and drawing to printmaking, photography, and stage design. Featuring a selection of approximately 120 pieces, including major works created in the United Kingdom and Los Angeles, such as the multipart series The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 (twenty eleven) (2011) and a new 90-meter-long drawing made on an iPad during lockdown, this exhibition presents a rich overview of Hockney’s creative world.
