The Portland Art Museum has opened a major retrospective of David Hockney's work, featuring over 200 pieces spanning six decades. The exhibition, drawn from the collection of philanthropist Jordan Schnitzer, includes iconic series like the swimming pool paintings, iPad drawings, and photographic collages, and is designed with immersive, perspective-shifting gallery spaces.
This is the largest North American survey of Hockney's work to date, marking a significant moment for the recently renovated museum. The show underscores Hockney's enduring influence and his embrace of technological innovation in art, while also highlighting the role of major private collections in enabling such expansive public exhibitions.
