Enter the colorful and innovative world of one of the most influential artists of our time with David Hockney: Works from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. The vibrant exhibition is the largest North American survey exhibition of Hockney’s work, with more than 200 colorful prints, collages, video, and photographic and iPad drawings spanning six decades of the artist’s career. Best known for vivid scenes that highlight his passion for both the natural world and human connection, visitors will experience a stunning array of dimensions and media that underscore Hockney’s inventive experiments—California swimming pools, the monumental Yosemite, and British landscapes in full bloom, as well as intimate portrayals of friends, family, and queer desire.

Join us for an evening of lively conversation, hands-on workshops, and a special presentation by Honolulu Museum of Art Director of Curatorial Affairs Catherine Whitney.
