Entrance 1853 Gallery, David Hockney
Art doesn't have to cost a fortune. Salts Mill is home to one of the largest collections of David Hockney's art. Entry to the gallery is free over several levels and its laid out in a non-stuffy way. A permanent exhibition of over 300 works of Hockney paintings, etchings, drawings, screens and even a very curious design for a post-box. There are family portraits, including a poignant one of his mother and father, informal sketches such as a ‘get-well’ vase of sunflowers, strange illustrations for fairy-tales, vibrant landscapes of the Yorkshire countryside, large murals, a colourful Caribbean screen and paintings of Salts Mill itself.
