The UK Art Museum is saddened by the recent passing of two groundbreaking artists, David Hockney and Duane Michals. We are proud to have wonderful examples of their works in our collection.

David Hockney
1937-2026

"Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache. The image is passing through you in a physiological way, into your brain, into your memory — where it stays — and it’s transmitted by your hands.” --David Hockney

"He didn't look to see, he saw to feel. Shadows were his reality. . . It is no surprise that an optician would be a seer." -Duane Michals on the art of Ralph Eugene Meatyard
