Howard Hodgkin
Modern Art Oxford, Oxford
Time and Place
Modern Art Oxford will present a major exhibition of paintings by Howard Hodgkin from
23 June – 5 September 2010. Comprising over twenty works, Howard Hodgkin: Time
and Place spans the last ten years of Hodgkin’s career and will include paintings not
previously seen by a broader public, including a powerful body of new work.
The exhibition comes more than thirty years after Hodgkin’s seminal 1976 survey at the
Gallery, Forty-five paintings 1949-1975, curated by Nicholas Serota, and will offer a fresh
view of the artist’s work, revealing his continuing relevance as one of the most vital,
radical and compelling painters of our time.
Howard Hodgkin: Time and Place is organised by Modern Art Oxford in partnership with
the De Pont Foundation, Tilburg, Netherlands and the San Diego Museum of Art to where
it will travel in September 2010 and February 2011 respectively.
A fully illustrated book designed by Peter B. Willberg, featuring an essay by Sam Smiles,
Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Plymouth and Tate Research Fellow 2009-
2012, will accompany the exhibition.
Born in London in 1932, Hodgkin attended Camberwell School of Art and the Bath
Academy of Art, Corsham. In 1984, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale and in
the following year won the Turner Prize. He has exhibited internationally for over four
decades and his work is included in major public and private collections all over the world.
Museum surveys include Paintings 1975-1995, organised by the Modern Art Museum of
Fort Worth, which opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and toured to Fort
Worth, Düsseldorf and London, and a retrospective presented at the Irish Museum of
Modern Art, Dublin (2006), Tate Britain and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia,
Madrid. A survey of his small paintings was presented at the Yale Center for British Art,
New Haven (2007), and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and in 2008 Gagosian
Gallery, London, presented an exhibition of twenty new paintings.

Renowned for his signature architectural interventions and transformations, Richard Woods creates encompassing installations of wood-block printed floors, walls and exterior elevations, that fold the history of the decorative arts, functional design and graphic language into intoxicating plays with image and surface. Launching the first in a series of new commissions for the new yard space that, seasonally, will house Modern Art Oxford’s café & bar, Wood’s work includes sculptures, seating, table tops, lighting and even aprons for the café staff.
From May to September, take a seat in our brand new covered yard designed by leading architects dRMM with artist Richard Woods. Enjoy the great coffee, homemade food and a changing seasonal menu.

brook & black
Art in Rose Hill: Plot 16
Artistic partnership brook & black (Leora Brook and Tiffany Black) are newly appointed artists-in-residence on Plot 16, the Gallery's allotment in Rose Hill. We have been at the Lenthall Road Allotment Association on Plot 16 since May 2009, growing vegetables and meeting new people, as part of the Gallery's Art in Rose Hill programme. The brook & black residency is the first major commission for the allotment.
Having spent time in Modern Art Oxford's archive researching the history of the building, originally a brewery in the 1800s, brook & black plan to grow hops and barley on Plot 16 and to make a dedicated beer from the crop. Once the hops are established the artists plan to train the plants to grow over a sculptural structure replicating the architecture of the Gallery: creating a mini Modern Art Oxford in Rose Hill.
