M. DA,
Sheesh- next time watch more closely. I remembered (vaguely) the episode, but thought the artist was Hockney, who's got nothing to do with bondage. So I did some heavy wiki/google chasing, and sure enough, it was Hockney, in the Episode 'House Training', episode 3-20.
==================================
House: I asked Cuddy to a play Thursday. [Wilson laughs.]
Wilson: Oh, you… okay.
House: She said she was busy.
Wilson: And you didn’t believe her, so you bribed a janitor, broke into her computer, checked her appointments –
House: I asked her as a test.
Wilson: What would you have learned if she’d said yes?
House: A lot about bondage. She’s busy for me, but not for you. She’s not interested in the play qua play, she’s interested in you.
Wilson: No. I’m not getting sucked into the vortex of your insanity again. Don’t pass me notes in class, don’t tell me to ask her to the prom –
House: You cannot see her socially. You’re leading her on!
Wilson: I’ll consider that after I take her to the Hockney exhibit. On Thursday. See, she is busy. It’s not a date. [House stares at him.] She enjoyed the play. I enjoyed her enjoying the play. The woman works hard, it’s nice to see her relax.
House: So all this enjoying is an act of charity?
Wilson: I’m keeping the receipts for tax purposes.
============================================
[Cut to the art gallery, where the art is rather… racy? Sexual? In nature.]
Cuddy: So this is Hockney?
Wilson: No. I don’t know what happened.
Cuddy: I’m sure you don’t. I never knew your tastes were so ecletic.
Wilson: Oh, the Hockney exhibit finished on April 20th, I thought it was May 20th. Okay, my bad. This is not somewhere I’d bring someone on a date. Not that this is a date, obviously. I was just thinking… he’s doing landscapes on multiple canvases now, and they’re kind of peaceful, and you’re always busy, and…
Cuddy: Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you embarrassed before.
====================================================
[Cut to Cuddy, examining a piece of art.]
Cuddy: That’s such a bad idea. There’s no way that won’t cause damage to the large intestine.
Wilson: Are you keeping us here to torture me? [He looks closer at the art.] Is that a bicycle pump?
Cuddy: That’s what I’m saying!
==========================================
SO, as it turns out, the artist they do see isn't Hockney, and is never identifyed. I think House meant Cuddy would have taught him a lot about bondage if they had gone on a date (I think she presents as a submissive, myself). That was driving me nuts...
