About the Item

A wonderful folio by the Modern Master David Hockney. This folio was assembled in 1993 from a series of photographs the artist made of visitors to his Studio in Los Angeles between 1990-91. The folio is accompanied by an original copy of the transfer note from the Hockney Trust to the original buyer. The folio consists of seven signed and numbered lithographs 4/20 and the signed titled page. Each lithograph has been beautifully framed in an eclectic collection of different but complementary frames. The lithographs are on full sheets of arches paper. The original folio sleeve and original tissue inserts are also included separately. The tissue inserts name each individual were hand written by the artist. I don’t believe there are many complete sets any longer as of the 20 sets plus proofs most were broken up. The title page reads: These photographs were made with a Canon still video camera and printed with a Canon color laser copier 500 on parsons linen ledger paper. Each portrait is a collage of five separate photographs on arches paper. The visitors - were just that. No one dressed up for these pictures. They were simply asked to stand in natural light in front of a painting in my studio. Most of the portraits were made at the same time of day, recording the visitors and work people over a period of a few months in 1990-1991. This portfolio of seven pages is number 4 of an edition on 20. Then signed David Hockney in pencil. The folio case has some water damage to one side. The tissue pages stored inside are ok. The lithographs are in excellent condition. We have not inspected them out of the frames. I assume they have been framed correctly in protective acrylic. The frames themselves have some minor losses.

David Hockney

The art of David Hockney is always engaging in its pleasant ambiguities: his prints, drawings and paintings are warm but somehow aloof; filled with light yet often dark and brooding in subject; simple, frank and mundane, but also ethereal and complex. The artist’s stature in the contemporary art world is such that, in a 2011 survey of one thousand British painters and sculptors, he was named the most influential British artist of all time.

Hockney grew up in Bradford, in the northern English county of Yorkshire, studying at the Bradford School of Art from 1953 to ’57, and at the Royal College of Art in London from 1959 to 1962. Though he was educated in art at a time when abstraction dominated the field, Hockney stuck resolutely to figurative painting and drawing.

Hockney's early paintings suggest a search for a style, veering from Expressionism to a grotesquerie suggestive of James Ensor. But Hockney found himself almost the moment he arrived in Los Angeles, in 1963. The move from the gray and rainy Britain to a world of bright sunshine and sparkling water brought Hockney a sense of freedom and an artistic epiphany. He would spend most of the next five years in L.A., painting luminous pictures, such as A Bigger Splash (1967), of things that made him happy: swimming pools, manicured lawns, palm trees, stucco buildings and luxuries like shower stalls. Hockney also painted people, almost always his friends. His California portraits such as Beverly Hills Housewife (1966) are considered to be his finest work. They are at once grandly scaled, intimate and poetic.

In the 1970s, Hockney moved back to Britain and spent much of his time on photography and printmaking. He returned to painting in the 1980s, and to subjects like still lifes, seascapes and portraits. Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art — he’s credited with inventing the technique of joining Polaroid photos in a collage to form a panoramic picture — and has been using the Brush app to paint on an iPad. Because he was prolific and worked in a wide range of mediums, Hockney’s art is available at many price points. His consistently striking and provocative work should have a place in any comprehensive collection of contemporary art.
