"Artist David Hockney will unveil a major new work this spring at Turner Contemporary in Margate, UK, as part of the gallery's 15th anniversary celebrations. "Measuring seven by ten metres, Hockney's work will transform the gallery's iconic floor-to-ceiling window in the Sunley Gallery overlooking Margate's beaches and the North Sea," a statement says. The new window work (1 April-1 November) will depict a sunrise in Normandy based on a work Hockney made in 2020 as an iPad painting."
"The Serpentine Galleries' first-ever show by the octogenarian artist opens next month (12 March-23 August 2026). "The exhibition unveils a new body of work by the celebrated British artist, comprising five still-lifes alongside five portraits that depict members of the artist's close circle, including his family and carers," a statement from the London-based gallery says. The show will also feature A Year in Normandy (2020-21), a 90m-long frieze inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, showing the change of seasons at the artist's former studio in Normandy."

The installation will be illuminated at night. Turner Contemporary reported more than 322,000 visitors in 2023–24. The Serpentine will present a new Hockney exhibition including five still-lifes, five portraits, and A Year in Normandy, a 90m frieze inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry. The Bayeux Tapestry is due to travel to the British Museum, a move that Hockney criticized as risky.
