SUMMARY:Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden
DESCRIPTION:A major print retrospective of one of Britain’s most celebrated artists \nExperience Howard Hodgkin's vivid world of colour in this exhibition of prints spanning five decades. \nHoward Hodgkin: In a Public Garden brings together more than thirty richly coloured prints by one of Britain's most distinctive modern artists.  \nSpanning five decades\, from 1966 to 2016\, the exhibition offers an engaging introduction to Hodgkin's printmaking. It shows how he used colour\, shape and texture to turn memories\, places and personal encounters into vivid visual experiences.  \nHodgkin is best known as a painter\, but he was also one of Britain's most important printmakers. Born in London in 1932\, he developed a language of bold marks\, layered surfaces and intense colour. Many of the prints in this exhibition are hand-coloured\, giving them a physical presence and emotional depth that reward close looking.  \nThe works range from lyrical city scenes to images inspired by Hodgkin's long connection with India\, as well as prints created for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Although they can appear spontaneous\, they were often made through a slow and highly considered process. Hodgkin experimented with techniques including etching and aquatint\, combining them with hand-painting to create images of remarkable richness.  \nHodgkin's significance was recognised internationally during his lifetime. He won the Turner Prize in 1985\, represented Britain at the Venice Biennale\, and his work has been shown in major museums including Tate Britain\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Reina Sofía in Madrid. Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden invites visitors to experience an artist whose colour\, feeling and imagination continue to resonate today.  \nHoward Hodgkin: In a Public Garden\, a Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery Touring Exhibition.  \nImage credit: Howard Hodgkin\, Palm and Window 1990-1991 (detail) – © 2026 The Estate of Howard Hodgkin.

SUMMARY:Take a Closer Look: Howard Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:Join a Curator from The Amelia for a short guided tour of the current temporary exhibition Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden. Whether you already know the works of Howard Hodgkin\, or are curious to learn more\, join us to take a closer look. \nThis autumn\, The Amelia Scott presents Howard Hodgkin: In a Public Garden\, a critically acclaimed exhibition bringing together more than 30 prints spanning five decades of the artist’s career\, from 1966 to 2016. \nOriginally developed by Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery\, this landmark exhibition showcases the work of Howard Hodgkin\, whose vivid use of colour\, expressive brushwork and deeply personal approach to abstraction made him one of Britain’s most distinctive post-war artists. \nFeaturing bold\, gestural compositions that explore memory\, emotion and place\, the exhibition immerses visitors in Hodgkin’s unique visual world. The selected prints reveal the important role printmaking played throughout his practice and demonstrate his extraordinary ability to transform fleeting experiences into powerful images. \nHoward Hodgkin: In a Public Garden\, a Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery Touring Exhibition.  \nImage credit: Howard Hodgkin\, Palm and Window 1990-1991 (detail) – © 2026 The Estate of Howard Hodgkin.
