At 87 years old, timelessly venerated painter David Hockney will undertake one of his biggest exhibitions yet. This spring, the artist will take over the entirety of the Louis Vuitton Foundation building, staging an exhibition titled “David Hockney, 25.”

“This exhibition means an enormous amount because it is the largest exhibition I’ve ever had—11 rooms in the Fondation Louis Vuitton,” said Hockney in a statement. “Some of the most recent paintings I’m working on now will be included in it, and I think it’s going to be very good.”

Curated with artistic director Suzanne Pagé, guest curator Sir Norman Rosenthal, and François Michaud, Hockney remained closely involved in the show’s process. Alongside his partner and studio manager, Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, the exhibition primarily focuses on the 21st century while still paying tribute to his famous early works.

Honing in on later years, a large portion of the selected works features Hockney’s digital tablet drawings, including various portraits of family, friends, and the “220 for 2020 series.” Though created digitally, the iPad paintings will appear printed and framed alongside the artist’s physical mediums.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Hockney has also harnessed his love of opera to build a diverse sensory experience. Gallery 10 will borrow from set designs Hockney has been creating since the 1970s, immersing guests in an all-new auditory and visual display.

The “David Hockney, 25” exhibition will be open from April 9 to August 31. Tickets are priced at €16 EUR (approximately $17 USD) and are available for advance purchase on the Louis Vuitton Foundation website.
