Sam Taylor-Johnson’s David is a striking video portrait of Sir David Beckham, legendary former footballer and current president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF. Commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery in London, the artist presents Beckham in a rare moment of repose, asleep after a training session. Created in 2004, this contemplative and painterly work offers viewers an unusual glimpse of a global icon.
Sam Taylor-Johnson:
DAVID
June 4th – July 25th 2026 MIAmi (moving images) Concourse J, near Gate J7
Sam Taylor-Johnson (b. 1967) is a British visual artist and filmmaker whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses photography, video, and feature film. For nearly 40 years, her collaborative work has engaged in an enquiry into psychological interiority and the sociocultural narratives through which both selfhood and collective consciousness are shaped. Born in London, UK, Taylor-Johnson studied sculpture at Goldsmiths College (London), alongside a generation of British artists who came to prominence in the 1990s. From the outset, her work has explored the complexities of lived experience. In her early photographic practice, she examines the tensions between external perception and self-identification. Similarly, in formative video works, the artist constructs emotionally charged tableaux in which couples, locked in fraught exchanges, attempt to navigate the complexities of intimacy and connection.
