It might be your last chance of visiting this exhibition at the metropolitas,
started in November 2 and is closing next January 28.
Here is a transcription published in our internet magazine (Continuing
exhibitions section):

Howard Hodgkin: Paintings 1975-1995 are on view at The Metropolitan
Museum of Art. The display comprises 50 paintings from public and private
collections in the United States and Europe, this is the first exhibition of
Hodgkin's work in the United States in a decade.
Hodgkin is considered one of the most important British artists of the post
war era. He follows the traditional painting categories of portrait,
landscape, and still life, but in a thoroughly modern and highly evolved
personal style. Known for his brilliant use of colour and masterful
brushwork, The artist creates works that are inspired by his own
encounters and experiences.
The survey begins in 1975, the year during which Hodgkin developed his
fully mature and independent style. Particular emphasis is placed on
paintings from 1985 to 1995, the period after Hodgkin's triumphant
exhibition at the 1984 Venice Biennial.
The exhibition also features a group of the artist's most recent paintings
that have never before been exhibited. The artist was born in England in
1932. He was educated at Camberwell School of Art and the Bath
Academy of Art at Corsham, and taught between 1955 and 1972 at the
Charterhouse School and at Corsham as well as the Chelsea School of
Art. In 1976-1977, he served as an artist-in-residence at Brasenose
College, Oxford, and was appointed a Commander of the British Empire in
1977. He has served as a trustee of both the Tate Gallery and the
National Gallery of Art, London, and is a noted collector of Indian art.

Accompanying the exhibition is a publication with contributions by Michael
Auping, chief curator of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, noted critic
Susan Sontag, and John Elderfield, chief curator at large of the Museum of
Modern Art, New York. A catalogue displaying Hodgkin's oil paintings is
included, allowing audiences to review his complete work.

Anyway I recomend you or anyone else to visit our site for information
about exhibitions and museums around the world.
