This is the largest North American survey of Hockney's work to date, signaling the museum's elevated ambitions following a renovation. The show highlights Hockney's career-long reinvention and embrace of technology, while also showcasing the significance of a major local collection, positioning the Portland Art Museum as a venue capable of hosting world-class exhibitions.
