For more than sixty years, David Hockney has been reimagining the world around him: from those impossibly blue Los Angeles swimming pools to tender portraits of friends and lovers, vast Yorkshire landscapes bursting with colour, and, more recently, iPad drawings that prove experimentation doesn’t belong to the young alone. At the heart of it all is a fascination with how we see, and how painting can make us look again.
It’s no surprise, then, that Hockney’s market has become one of the most closely followed in post-war art. His works don’t just command extraordinary prices; they capture moments, places and relationships that feel deeply human, and collectors continue to respond to that sense of immediacy and warmth.
