Eliot Hodgkin Exhibition at Waddesdon 2019
The Estate of Eliot Hodgkin is delighted to announce the first major exhibition on Eliot Hodgkin since the Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox retrospective in 1990. Brought to Life: Eliot Hodgkin Rediscovered will take place at Waddesdon from the 23rd of May until the 20th of October 2019.
The show will feature a large selection of paintings by Eliot Hodgkin and it will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue written and edited by Adrian Eeles, and published by Paul Holberton. The catalogue will include a previously unpublished memoir of Eliot by the late Brian Sewell and a tribute by fellow-artist and cousin Howard Hodgkin.

Waddesdon’s 2019 exhibition will be a chance for art lovers to see a rare assemblage of Hodgkin’s paintings – many of which have never been seen in public before. Pippa Shirley, Head of Collections at Waddesdon Manor, says “We are very proud to be working on this exhibition with the Hodgkin family and Adrian Eeles, shining a well overdue light on a British artist who deserves to be far more widely celebrated. He is best known as a painter of still life subjects, but less well known are his haunting views of bomb-sites in London after World War II, with rank weeds and wildflowers pushing up through mounds of rubble. We hope this revelatory exhibition will capture the full range of Hodgkin’s work, together with other facets of his career as an artist, which have never been fully explored.”
Also available to buy is a selection of retail items such as postcards, notebooks, placemats and tea towels: https://waddesdon.org.uk/product-category/homeware-and-gifts/eliot-hodgkin/
