Paris: Fondation Louis Vuitton Premium Access Ticket

Exhibition “David Hockney 25”

Do remember they can’t cancel the Spring

In the spring of 2025, from 9 April to 31 August, the Foundation invites David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, to take over all of its exhibition spaces. This exceptional presentation of more than 400 works from 1955 to 2025 brings together, in addition to a major collection from the artist’s studio and his foundation, loans from international, institutional and private collections.

The exhibition will bring together creations made with the most varied techniques – oil or acrylic paintings, ink, pencil and charcoal drawings, but also digital works (photographic drawings, computer drawings, iPhone and iPad drawings) and video installations.

David Hockney was totally involved in the realization of this exhibition. He himself chose, in collaboration with his companion and studio manager, Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, to focus the exhibition on the last twenty-five years of his work without omitting the “mythical” works of his beginnings, thus offering an immersion in his universe, covering seven decades of creation. He wanted to personally follow the design of each sequence and each room, in an ongoing dialogue with his assistant Jonathan Wilkinson.

“This exhibition is particularly important to me, because it is the largest I have ever had – the eleven galleries of the Fondation Louis Vuitton! Some of my very latest paintings, which I am currently working on, will be presented there. It will be good, I think.”
