The Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris has unveiled an expansive exhibition titled “David Hockney 25,” showcasing 456 works that span the artist’s prolific career from 1955 to 2025. This comprehensive retrospective delves into Hockney’s evolution across various mediums, including acrylic paintings, iPad drawings, and immersive video installations. Iconic pieces such as “A Bigger Splash” and “Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy” are featured, highlighting his journey from vibrant California pool scenes to recent spiritually infused works inspired by William Blake. Curated by Norman Rosenthal and lauded by architect Frank Gehry as the museum’s most ambitious exhibition to date, the showcase underscores Paris’s renewed ambition to reclaim its status as Europe’s art capital. Hockney, a British artist now residing in Normandy, has garnered increasing appreciation in France, further solidified by his 90-meter iPad frieze, “A Year in Normandie.” This exhibition also reflects a broader trend of private museums flourishing in Paris, driven by luxury conglomerates like LVMH and Kering, signaling a cultural renaissance that may reshape the global art scene.
