I wanted to share something special with you: Henry Geldzahler with Hat by David Hockney. It’s one of those rare works that doesn’t just look beautiful on your wall — it means something.

Henry wasn’t just a friend of Hockney’s; he was the man behind the curtain of the New York art world in the 60s and 70s. He championed artists before the rest of the world caught on - Warhol, Haring, Alice Neel — and reshaped what major museums showed and valued. Hockney’s portrait of him, hat slightly tilted, gaze confident, feels like a love letter to that era. It’s honest, a bit cheeky, and completely timeless.

What makes this work so compelling is the story behind it - It’s more than a portrait. It’s a snapshot of two trailblazers at the height of their powers.

If you’re looking to add a piece with relevance and serious art world history, this is a brilliant contender. We’d love to arrange a private look at the gallery or we would be happy to arrange a video call.

All the best,
