David Hockney - 3 folio prints at Tate SOLD OUT
David Hockney, English painter, printmaker, photographer and stage designer, is perhaps the most popular and versatile British artist of the 20th century. Accompanying his present exhibition at Tate Britain (9 February – 29 May 2017), Tate has exclusively issued 3 high quality prints by the artist. Each print is presented in its own folio:
David Hockney - A Bigger Splash
A Bigger Splash was painted between April and June 1967 when Hockney was teaching at the University of California at Berkeley. For this piece, Hockney wanted to capture a moment in time, explaining, ‘when you photograph a splash, you’re freezing a moment and it becomes something else. I realised that a splash could never be seen this way in real life, it happens too quickly. And I was amused by this, so I painted it in a very, very slow way’.
David Hockney - Red Pots in the Garden
In 1979, David Hockney moved to his house in the Hollywood Hills, and since then it has provided him with inspiration. In the summer of 2000, whilst staying in London, Hockney began a series of paintings of his LA garden. The distinctive blue terrace overlooking the squiggly-lined swimming pool and use of multiple perspectives to describe the space are characteristic of Hockney’s body of work, and the bright colours and lush greens echo Hollywood Hills House his work on the same subject 20 years earlier.
