You will be hearing more on this in the days to come! For now, let's just say that you should pay a visit to this David Hockney painting at Christie's. It has been hidden away in Betty Freeman's kitchen in Los Angeles since the early 60s. And it will be sold on May 13, most likely to a major institution and for a world record for Hockney. But you can see it for free at 20 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City every day until then! It is awesome.
