=Works= From the very beginning in 2007 the Royal Academy of Arts and the Guggenheim Bilbao stated they had no desire to do a retrospective of Hockney’s works, instead they wanted to focus on  his latest paintings. The artist’s comeback to the British Camp (specifically his natal Yorkshire) after a long stay in California. Oil paintings, charcoal drawings,  sketches, digital videos and iPad-made painting showed the public the inside to Hockney’s creative universe.
