About MODO
MODO is an independent gallery in Cambridge and London dedicated exclusively to original, signed and limited edition works by David Hockney.
Founded by curator and director Sally Clark, MODO was built from a long standing private collection and over two decades of specialist experience in the secondary market for David Hockney’s work. What began as a deeply personal engagement with Hockney’s practice has evolved into one of the UK’s most distinctive specialist gallery models, combining commercial expertise with exhibitions, education, and public cultural programming.
“MODO was created from the belief that art should not feel culturally locked away. Hockney’s work has an extraordinary ability to change how people see, think, and feel, whether they are experienced collectors or encountering his work for the first time.”
— Sally Clark, Founder & Director
With spaces in Cambridge and London’s Piccadilly Arcade, MODO works with collectors, institutions, first time buyers, and international clients across paintings, drawings, editions, posters, iPad works, and rare museum quality pieces. The gallery is recognised for immersive exhibitions and installations, including large scale presentations of The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, offering visitors the opportunity to spend sustained time with Hockney’s exploration of perception, colour, landscape, technology, and the experience of truly looking.
Across three floors in Cambridge, MODO has developed a public facing gallery environment that deliberately blurs the line between commercial gallery, cultural space, and educational platform. Alongside exhibitions, the gallery hosts talks, artist conversations, schools programming, collecting guidance, and public initiatives connected to the future of art, perception, and human intelligence in the age of AI.
MODO works closely with Art and Culture Education CIC (ACE CIC), a Community Interest Company founded by Sally Clark to address the systemic marginalisation of art within education. Together, MODO and ACE CIC develop projects exploring art as a vital cognitive system connected to perception, judgement, imagination, innovation, and cultural progress.
As Cambridge continues to grow internationally as a centre for technology, research, and innovation, MODO is helping position the city as a destination for contemporary art and for serious engagement with David Hockney’s work. The gallery has become known not only for specialist knowledge and access to important works, but for creating an environment where art is experienced as part of public life rather than separate from it.
For collectors searching for David Hockney prints, David Hockney exhibitions in Cambridge and London, or specialist advice on buying and collecting Hockney works on the secondary market, MODO offers both expertise and access across all stages of collecting.
