David Hockney's 'A Bigger Exhibition' at de Young Museum
David Hockney's exhibition, titled 'A Bigger Exhibition,' is currently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, running from October 26, 2013, to January 20, 2014. The show features more than 250 works created since 2002, including traditional paintings, art made on iPhones and iPads, and multi-channel video installations. Curated with Gregory Evans, it builds on Hockney’s previous European exhibition, 'A Bigger Picture.' A standout element is the gallery with four nine-channel videos of Woldgate Woods (2010-11), capturing seasonal changes through thirty-six camera angles. His digital pieces, including iPad landscapes inspired by Japanese and Chinese art, highlight his innovative use of technology in art.
