Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art holds 1 work by David Hockney (1937–present) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Hockney is one of the most versatile and prolifically inventive artists of his generation, moving between painting, drawing, photography, and digital work. His large paintings — the Yorkshire landscapes, the swimming pools — reward seeing in person, where their scale and the quality of his observation become fully apparent.
