David Hockney 25 review: an absolutely enormous splash ★★★★
A gallery of densely salon-hung portraits shows how much Hockney likes to create a world around himself—many family members, other artists (including the late Derek Boshier and John Baldessari), the queen of arts public relations Erica Bolton, rendered in charcoal and crayon; the designer Celia Birtwell, in tartan trousers; an unnamed man in an armchair whose red velvet upholstery looks real enough to touch.
