Directed by Phil Grabsky and presented by Tim Marlow, this latest Exhibition on Screen documentary offers an HD nose around behind the scenes at David Hockney‘s recent blockbuster Royal Academy of Arts exhibitions: 2012’s A Bigger Picture and 2016’s 82 Portraits and One Still Life.

Screened as part of Hockney’s ongoing 80th birthday celebrations, the film includes new interviews with the artist himself, alongside contributions from art critics Martin Gayford and Jonathan Jones, and Edith Devaney (Senior Contemporary Curator at the Royal Academy of Arts) who twice sat for Hockney to paint.
