The Morgan Presents David Hockney: Drawing From Life
First Major Exhibition Devoted To Hockney’s Drawings In Over 20 Years Comes To The Morgan From The National Portrait Gallery, London
October 16, 2020
The Morgan Library & Museum is delighted to present David Hockney: Drawing from Life, which opened Oct. 2 and will run through May 30, 2021. David Hockney (b. 1937) is one of the most internationally renowned living artists. The exhibition is organized by the National Portrait Gallery, London, in collaboration with the artist and the Morgan. The exhibition was curated by Sarah Howgate, senior curator of Contemporary Collections at the National Portrait Gallery, London. It will be the first to focus on his portraits on paper and one of very few to investigate his drawing practice. Featuring over 100 drawings and prints, it will trace a trajectory from the artists early sketches as a student through his Ingres-like portraits of the 1970s, to his return to the sketchbooks and imaginative iPhone and iPad portraits in the early 2000s. The Morgan Library & Museum is located at 225 Madison Ave., New York City. To learn more, visit www.themorgan.org.
