Howard Hodgkin: India on Paper

  • 14 October 2017 — 7 January 2018 *on now

This unique exhibition will feature a range of Hodgkin’s Indian-themed works on paper including gouache paintings, editioned prints and hand-coloured impressions made over half a century.

The exhibition celebrates these connections whilst exploring his love affair with India, which he visited for the first time in 1964. The trip was a revelation and he returned almost every year, moved by a quality of openness in the daily life of the subcontinent, where “everything is very visible, somehow, there. Life isn’t covered up with masses of objects, masses of possessions”.
