Also, in Rome the long awaited for Caravaggio exhibition showcasing 24 masterpieces including some rarely seen works and recently rediscovered pieces. Located at the National Gallery of Ancient Art Palazzo Barberini, explores Caravaggio’s career and influence on religion, society and art. Caravaggio, known as Baroque’s Bad Boy, is drawing in art lovers, more than 600,000 tickets have been sold to the exhibition which closes July 6.

Paris Fondation Louis Vuitton which is known for its blockbuster events doesn’t disappoint this summer either. David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has been invited to take over the entire building for an exhibition that is exceptional in its scale and its originality. 

Our VIP three-hour Private Access led by the Curator of the exhibition solves the crowd problem. And yes, we have clients attending privately.

David Hockney 25, opened in April and closes on August 31, 2025, brings together more than 400 of his works (from 1955 to 2025) including paintings from international, institutional, and private collections, as well as works from the artist’s own studio. Foundation David Hockney has been personally involved in every aspect of the exhibition and has, together with his partner and studio manager Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, chosen to focus particularly on the past 25 years while also including the iconic early works, offering visitors a rare insight into his creative universe, spanning seven decades. 

Again, we are not partial to crowds, and can offer VIP Exclusive Access.

2023 Art To See – London Always Out & About – David Hockney ‘Bigger and Closer’, (not smaller and further)

David Hockney ‘Bigger and Closer’, (not smaller and further) Lightroom Kings Cross, London February 22- June 4, 2023

The Lightroom is a new four-story exhibition space made for immersive art. The new home for spectacular artist led shows. We can privatize, of course!

Hockney will exhibit his life’s work broken up into six chapters with a voiceover from Hockney himself and an original score composed by Nico Muly. His paintings are thrown onto huge screens immersing the audience in his colorful worlds like never seen before. Hockney will use the innovative venue to take the audience on a personal journey through his art, featuring iconic paintings alongside some rarely seen pieces and some newly created work. His life-long fascination with the possibilities of new media is given vibrant expression in a show that invites visitors to see the world through his eyes.

Using large-scale projection in a remarkable new space, David Hockney takes us on a personal journey through sixty years of his art. Lightroom’s vast walls and revolutionary sound system enable us to experience the world through Hockney’s eyes. His life-long fascination with the possibilities of new media is given vibrant expression in a show that invites us to look more closely, more truly and more joyously.

In a cycle of six themed chapters and a commentary by the artist himself, Hockney reveals his process. His voice is in our ears as we watch him experimenting with perspective, using photography as a way of ‘drawing with a camera’, capturing the passing of time in his polaroid collages and the joy of spring on his iPad, and showing us why only paint can properly convey the hugeness of the Grand Canyon. We join him on his audio-visual Wagner Drive, roaring up into the San Gabriel Mountains, and into the opera house by means of animated re-creations of his stage designs.

From LA to Yorkshire, and up to the present day in Normandy, the show is an unprecedented opportunity to spend time in the presence of one of the great popular geniuses of the art world still innovating, still creating beauty and awe.

Located just an 8-minute walk from King’s Cross station, Lightroom joins the wonderful range of shops and restaurants of Coal Drops Yard to create the perfect day or night out.
