Artist: David Hockney
In the Mood for Love: Hockney in London, 1960–1963 presents a remarkable selection of early paintings, drawings, and prints from public and private collections, many of which have not been seen together since the 1960s. This exhibition marks the first in-depth exploration of this pivotal three-year period in Hockney’s career, tracing his artistic breakthroughs at the Royal College of Art and the years immediately following.
This exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by art historian Marco Livingstone, providing new insights into Hockney’s work and life at this time, along with reflections from Hockney's first and longtime dealer, John Kasmin.
