- The official publication on David Hockney's stained glass window at
Westminster Abbey, commissioned to celebrate the reign of Queen
Elizabeth II- An enchanting study exploring the processes of both
designing and making the window- The first time Hockney has designed a
work in stained glassThe Queen's Window was designed by renowned artist
David Hockney for Westminster Abbey and unveiled in autumn 2018. The
work was commissioned to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II as
England's longest-serving monarch. The resulting design is a vibrantly
coloured and quintessentially English country scene featuring a
Yorkshire landscape with the hawthorn blossom that Hockney loves. In an
extended conversation between Hockney and fellow-artist Tacita Dean, the
artist reflects on his approach to the design and his use of colour, as
well on the underlying themes that the window represents.
