Collections
Many of Hockney's works are now housed in Salts Mill, in Saltaire, near his home town of Bradford. Writer Christopher Isherwood's collection is today considered the most important private collection of Hockney's works; in the 1990s, Isherwood's long-time partner Don Bachardy donated the collection to a foundation. His work can also be found in numerous important public collections worldwide, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark; Art Institute of Chicago; National Portrait Gallery, London; Tate Gallery, London; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; MUMOK, Vienna; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.

Famous quotes containing the word collections:
“Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
