1. A Bigger Splash
In honour of David Hockney's 80th birthday Auckland Art Gallery is screening ground-breaking 1974 documentary A Bigger Splash which tells the story of the great artist's drawn-out breakup with partner Peter Scheslinger from 1970-73. Featuring fictional and fantasy elements alongside the fly-on-the-wall coverage, the film stars many of his peers and friends of the time, including designers Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark, artist Patrick Proctor, gallery owner John Kasmin and museum curator Henry Geldzahler.
