The Hockney Gallery Ltd (established in 2017) trading as MODO, is an independent gallery dedicated exclusively to the exhibition, collection, acquisition and understanding of David Hockney’s work.
For the last 10 years we have specialised exclusively in sourcing, researching, acquiring and placing David Hockney original works, drawings, prints and limited editions with private collectors and institutions worldwide.
Our flagship gallery in Cambridge occupies three floors dedicated to Hockney’s work, bringing together exhibitions, installations, a media room and private viewing spaces. The gallery presents works spanning his career, from accessible editions and exhibition posters to significant original works and museum quality pieces valued in the millions.
MODO also maintains a London gallery in Piccadilly Arcade, providing a discreet setting for private appointments, valuations and discussions about acquisitions and sales.
Collecting with MODO
We work with collectors at every stage, whether acquiring a first work, developing an established collection or seeking an important piece of particular significance.
Our approach is personal and informed by an extensive understanding of Hockney’s work and its market. Many of the works we source and place are acquired through private relationships and never reach the open market.
We believe that collecting should be an informed and rewarding experience, built on trust, knowledge and an ongoing relationship with the gallery.
Exhibitions and Cultural Programme
Beyond the acquisition and sale of artworks, MODO offers a programme of David Hockney exhibitions, installations, lectures and events that encourage a deeper understanding of Hockney’s work.
Hockney’s exploration of perspective, perception and the act of looking informs our approach to presenting his work. Our Cambridge gallery provides an environment in which visitors can spend time with individual works, encounter them in different ways and explore the ideas behind them.
Alongside our exhibition programme, MODO works in partnership with Art & Culture Education CIC (ACE CIC) to develop free educational initiatives, public lectures and cultural projects exploring the relationship between art, human intelligence, perception and innovation.
A Gallery for Everyone
Whether visiting an exhibition, considering a first acquisition or seeking an important work for an established collection, MODO offers access to specialist knowledge, a considered programme of exhibitions and a personal approach to collecting.
We welcome visitors, collectors and institutions from the UK and internationally.
