David Hockney A Bigger Picture
This vital new book A Bigger Picture, is published to accompany the exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, 21 January - 9 April 2012.
David Hockney has always been closely associated with Pop Art and California, where he has lived for much of his life but this major study of his work redefines him as an important painter of the English countryside, presenting his recent landscapes for the first time. In an attempt to renew contemporary art, Hockney has returned to painting in the open air, observing with honesty and intensity the scenery of his childhood in East Yorkshire.
Co-curator of the exhibition Marco Livingstone explores this bold departure in the context of Hockney’s sixty-year career, while other contributors address the artist’s place in the landscape tradition, his recent video works and their relationship to English landscape film-making, and his ongoing use of new technologies.
This amazing and beautiful book is now available at Storm.

Private Art Gallery and Home
Ad exec and art collector, Christian Boros owns an old air raid shelter in Berlin’s mitte district, which he purchased after the fall of The Wall.
The massive bunker is now his own private art museum, semi open by appointment. We've never been so lucky as to get an inside visit, but this video from the great FvF takes care of that for us.
Very nice.
