David Hockney – Iris with Evian Bottle (1998)

Louisiana poster with the work, Iris with Evian Bottle, (1998), by David Hockney (b. 1937-2026), published in conjunction with the exhibition, Flower as Image, at Louisiana in 2004/05. David Hockney is one of Britain's most influential artists of the 20th century and was central to the 1960s pop art scene in London. Hockey is well-known to many visitors to Louisiana, where he has exhibited several times.

David Hockney is loved by many for his ability to touch the ordinary - what the world mostly consists of. He likes to let it float a little, so that we become involved, because Hockney both offers a motif and that we ourselves involve ourselves in processing what is seen.

In 2007, Louisiana acquired David Hockney's giant painting A Closer Grand Canyon, (1998), consisting of 60 smaller canvases put together to form one large picture – a work that has since become an absolute masterpiece in the collection.
