Serpentine Galleries has announced its first-ever exhibition dedicated to David Hockney, set to open at Serpentine North from 12 March to 23 August 2026. The show will feature the monumental 90-metre-long frieze *A Year in Normandy* (2020-21), inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry and depicting seasonal changes at the artist’s former Normandy studio, alongside iPad images created during the pandemic, the *Moon Room* series, and digital paintings from his *Sunrise* body of work. Separately, Annely Juda Fine Art will inaugurate its new London gallery in Hanover Square with a Hockney exhibition opening 7 November, showcasing recent paintings exploring reverse perspective.
Hockney exhibitions consistently draw massive audiences—his 2017 Tate Britain retrospective attracted over 478,000 visitors, and a recent survey at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris was the largest ever dedicated to the artist. The Serpentine show underscores Hockney’s enduring commercial and popular appeal, while the concurrent Annely Juda presentation signals continued gallery investment in his market. Together, these events reinforce London’s role as a global hub for Hockney’s work and highlight the artist’s ongoing evolution across traditional and digital media.
