The Modern Art Museum (MAM) Shanghai is hosting ‘David Hockney: Paper Trails,’ a major exhibition showcasing 110 works on paper by renowned British artist David Hockney. Curated by Shai Baitel, MAM Shanghai’s Artistic Director, and actor-writer Russell Tovey, this exhibition offers an immersive journey into Hockney’s artistic mastery, highlighting his ability to create profound atmospheres through his art. This exhibition, the largest ever of Hockney’s works on paper, presents a captivating survey of his career, from his famous Pool Series and intimate portraits to his recent digital works created on an iPad.
