There are many ways to celebrate spring, but few contemporary artists have devoted as much attention to the theme as David Hockney. The cover of the June 9, 2025 issue features Hockney’s 2000 work of Garrowby Hill, a peak in Yorkshire, England, where the artist spent his childhood and returned in the late Nineties when his mother fell ill. “I’ve known the countryside very well since the early Fifties, when I used to come here to work on a farm during the summer holidays, helping to harvest the corn,” Hockney said. “I’ve cycled through it and thought it was quite picturesque.” This season, the artist is excited to be organizing “David Hockney 25,” his most comprehensive exhibition yet, currently at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. “You can’t really appreciate an artist until you see their finished work. “He can certainly change and create something new in the last year,” he said. “This exhibition is very important to me. I am thrilled to be able to see many of my life's works on the walls. Not many people can afford that.”
