Howard’s way

The prolific Sir Howard Hodgkin has been distressing critics who
equate his stage designs with art. Theatre designs cannot be considered
in the same vein. But the designs for Mark Morris’s Kolam (April
2002) for ENO Covent Garden are supremely seductive. Now in his
seventieth year, Hodgkin will have exhibited at the Aldeburgh Festival
in June, but more conventionally at the Edinburgh Festival. Studio
International will include in September a full review of the Edinburgh
exhibition.
