David Hockney’s Bigger Trees Near Warter, an oil on 50 canvasses painted in the open air over a period of 6 weeks using digital technology to allow the artist to step back to see the painting as a whole, will be on loan to York Art Gallery from the Tate between 12 February and 12 June 2011.
On show during “Art in Yorkshire – Supported by Tate”, a year-long celebration of the visual arts across 19 galleries throughout Yorkshire, the piece is the largest painting Hockney has ever produced.
The exhibition at York Art Gallery will also feature information about how Hockney created the painting, along with films about the artist, including the documentary by Bruno Wollheim, A Bigger Picture, which shows Hockney at work.
For accommodation in the area during this time, check out some York bed and breakfasts and York hotels on Hello Yorkshire.
