David Hockney: Fleurs Fraîches is curated by cultural historian and freelance curator Charlie Scheips. The exhibition is designed by New York-based architect Ali Tayar who has created an installation inspired in part by Hockney’s studio in Yorkshire, England. Another feature of the exhibition is Tayar’s modernist take on the neo-classical French
banquette which will allow visitors to sit and view both of the two gallery installations.
