David Hockney’s first English landscape on show for first time in almost 30 years
AI Summary
David Hockney's 1965 painting, "English Garden," his first English landscape, is on display in London for the first time in nearly 30 years at Sotheby's before being auctioned on March 4. Painted in Boulder, Colorado, the work depicts a topiary garden at Haseley Court, Oxfordshire, and is considered a pivotal piece in Hockney's career, bridging his early work and later landscape paintings. Hockney created the painting while teaching in the US, inspired by a photograph and a sense of homesickness. The painting was last publicly displayed in 1970 and has been in private hands since a 1997 auction. The estimated sale price is between £2.5m and £3.5m. Hockney, now 88, also has a new exhibition opening at the Serpentine Gallery in March.
