David Hockney at Serpentine

Everybody loves David Hockney. So it’s good news that the old geezer can’t seem to stop making art despite pushing 90. More colourful works from the octogenarian will go on display in London in 2026, this time at the Serpentine North, as the gallery welcomes its first ever Hockney exhibition.

It’ll focus on recent works, including the celebrated Moon Room, reflecting the painter’s lifelong interest in the lunar cycle, plus several digital paintings created as part of his Sunrise series, paintings made on an iPad during a prolific period in spring 2020 when Britain was in lockdown. Also featured will be A Year in Normandy, a ninety-metre-long frieze, inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, showing the change of seasons at the artist’s Normandy studio, displayed in the run-up to the hugely anticipated arrival of the iconic original artwork at the British Museum in autumn 2026.
