In the Mood for Love: Hockney in London, 1960–1963

In the Mood for Love: Hockney in London, 1960–1963 presents a remarkable selection of early paintings, drawings, and prints from public and private collections, many of which have not been seen together since the 1960s. This exhibition marks the first in-depth exploration of this pivotal three-year period in Hockney’s career, tracing his artistic breakthroughs at the Royal College of Art and the years immediately following.
