Send me more information on David Hockney
A pioneer of the 1960s British movement, David Hockney is one of the most celebrated and prolific artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. His artistic versatility is evident in his acrylic paintings, photo collages, full-scale opera set designs, and groundbreaking digital works on iPads. Initially gaining recognition for his semi-abstract representations of gay love, Hockney's art has evolved significantly over time.
After moving to California in 1964, Hockney captured his new environment in sensual, pastel-hued scenes. His distinctive portrayal of uninhibited queer men set against idyllic backdrops of swimming pools, palm trees, and light-drenched homes has become iconic. These works, embodying the vibrant spirit of California, are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
Hockney's work has been honoured with exhibitions at prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. His influence and legacy are further cemented by record-breaking sales in the secondary market, with his pieces fetching upwards of $90 million.
