Press Release

Opening Saturday 20 May from 12 to 7 pm during CHOICES - Paris Gallery Weekend 3 pm : Lecture of Didier Ottinger, curator of the retrospective show of David Hockney at the Centre Pompidou.

The David Hockney retrospective at the Tate Britain in London, which will move to the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and will go to New York and Los Angeles, presents more than 200 of the most emblematic examples (paintings, drawings, photographs, engravings, videos, printed works and more) of his body of work. This exhibition proves, once again, to what extent Hockney’s art has always been a blend of tradition and innovation, of homage and invention, drawing on the most recent technology - over the years the artist has used polaroid cameras, fax, photocopiers, computers and touch-screen tablets.

Between 2010 and 2011, working with an iPad, Hockney created a series of landscapes from the Yosemite National Park in California, capturing the silence of the nature – bare expanses and dense forests – as well as the movement of the visitors. Each drawing, composed with his finger on the screen, is printed in a limited number of copies. Of the 29 works that make up this series, 24 are printed on single sheets of paper (94 x 71 cm) while five of them, in a larger format, are produced in four panels mounted on Dibond (236 x 178 cm).A catalogue (Repères n°169) with a text by Alfred Pacquement, reproducing the 29 works will be published.

About the Gallery
Galerie Lelong is located in Paris and New York. It was founded by Jacques Dupin, Daniel Lelong and Jean Frémon.

The Paris gallery has been exhibiting recent works from artists of international standing since 1981. The 1980s were notable for artists who went on to become household names, including Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Eduardo Chillida, Paul Rebeyrolle, Pierre Alechinsky, but also for the next generation of artists: Konrad Klapheck, Jan Dibbets, Donald Judd, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Jannis Kounellis, Arnulf Rainer, Nicola De Maria and Jan Voss.

In the 1990s, the gallery hosted artists who represented major movements in contemporary art: Sean Scully, Günther Förg, Andy Goldsworthy, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Antonio Saura. The gallery also increased international recognition of the work of Ana Mendieta.

Since the turn of the century, Galerie Lelong has accentuated the geographical and expressive diversity of its artists: from sculpture and objects by Jaume Plensa, David Nash, Wolfgang Laib, Kiki Smith, Rebecca Horn, Barry Flanagan to installations by Barthélémy Toguo and Lin Tianmiao, without forgetting painting, namely David Hockney, Robert Motherwell, Kate Shepherd, Nalini Malani, Nancy Spero, Juan Uslé, Leon Kossoff.

Galerie Lelong has a large publishing department which produces and distributes engravings, lithographs, digital prints and multiple objects, and collates these works in catalogues raisonnés.

It produces monumental sculptures to order for public spaces and private clients.
