Exhibition poster with the work, A closer Grand Canyon , (1998), by the British artist, David Hockney (b. 1937).

Louisiana acquired Hockney's giant painting, A closer Grand Canyon, in 2007. The work consists of 60 smaller canvases, assembled into one large picture, which has since become an absolute masterpiece in the collection.

David Hockney is loved by many for his ability to touch the ordinary - that which the world mostly consists of. He likes to let it float a bit, so that we become involved, because Hockney offers both a motif and encourage us to engage in processing the viewed.

Today, David Hockney lives in Normandy, where he constantly experiments with materials and captures local moods with his fantastic stroke and sure sense of color.
