An exhibition celebrating the early work of David Hockney, which explores the artist's sexuality and early love interests, has been curated by a grandfather and grandson duo who are passing art dealership down through the generations.

Louis Kasmin, the grandson of distinguished art dealer John Kasmin – Hockney’s first dealer who represented the artist from 1963 until the early 1990s – has curated the first in-depth exploration of the early period of Hockney’s career when he experimented with aesthetics at the Royal College of Art in 1959 to 1962 and the period immediately after.
