'Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look'
About
This very personal show brings together two Hockney paintings, one showing his mother and father and the other depicting his friend, curator Henry Geldzahler. They’ll be displayed with the thread that ties them together, Piero della Francesca’s ‘The Baptism of Christ’.
Join us for a talk on the opening morning of 'Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look' preview. We'll be hosting two sessions: the first for the early risers who crave some pre-work inspiration and morning motivation. Followed by a second session for those wanting a kickstart intro to the exhibition before it opens. Martin Brown will be your guide in this exclusive, out-of-hours morning talk, offering an in-depth introduction to our latest exhibition. Your ticket includes tea and coffee.
