Overview
We are delighted to invite our members to an exclusive preview of Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden — the largest institutional exhibition of original prints by the acclaimed British artist to date. Curated by renowned art historian Richard Calvocoressi, this landmark show features around 60 vibrant, emotionally charged prints and paintings that span five decades of Hodgkin’s career, from 1966 to 2016.
Installed throughout Pitzhanger’s contemporary gallery and the atmospheric rooms of the historic Manor itself, this retrospective-in-print immerses visitors in Hodgkin’s world of colour, memory, and abstraction. His bold, gestural works — full of nuance and feeling — transform the building into a living canvas of moments remembered and reimagined. This will be Pitzhanger’s largest ever exhibition and a celebration of Soane and Hodgkin’s shared passion for space, light and colour.
The exhibition will be open exclusively to members on Tuesday 30th September, 10am -2pm, before it opens to the general public, with a unique opportunity to hear our curators talking about the exhibition throughout.
The Pitzhanger Shop will be open and refreshments will be available.
