Artist David Hockney will create a monumental, ten-meter-long window installation for the Sunley Gallery at Turner Contemporary in Margate, UK. The work, based on a 2020 iPad painting of a Normandy sunrise, will be illuminated at night and installed from April to November as part of the gallery's 15th anniversary celebrations.
This installation underscores Hockney's enduring popularity and his artistic dialogue with J.M.W. Turner, a key inspiration for both the artist and the gallery that bears his name. The announcement coincides with another major Hockney exhibition opening at London's Serpentine Galleries, highlighting the high public demand for his work, which has consistently drawn record-breaking crowds at institutions like Tate Britain and the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
