Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden

This October, Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery unveils Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden — the largest institutional exhibition of original prints by the acclaimed British artist to date. Curated by renowned art historian Richard Calvocoressi, this landmark show features around 46 vibrant, emotionally charged prints that span five decades of Hodgkin’s career, from 1966 to 2016. As well as the prints, the exhibition features five paintings and a collection of archive items related to Hodgkin’s relationship with India – including photographs, works on paper, and 17th century Mughal pottery tiles.

Installed throughout Pitzhanger’s contemporary gallery and the atmospheric rooms of the historic Manor itself, this retrospective-in-print immerses visitors in Hodgkin’s world of colour, memory, and abstraction. His bold, gestural works — full of nuance and feeling — transform the building into a living canvas of moments remembered and reimagined.
