David Hockney

Playful, perceptive, always curious, David Hockney is one of our greatest contemporary artists. Published in collaboration with the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the lively and visually appealing coffee table book "David Hockney" offers a detailed journey through the artist's remarkable life and career.

The artworks chosen reflect Hockney's major themes and preoccupations through the decades, from his early life in Bradford and London through the California era and his later years in Bridlington, Yorkshire, and Normandy, France. Several chapters are arranged thematically, from still lifes and portraits to his beloved landscapes and stunning designs for opera. A final chapter explores Hockney's involvement with digital art, particularly on the iPad. Throughout, we see the endless inventiveness, curiosity and creativity that have characterized Hockney's work for eight decades.

To give context to Hockney's art, this definitive survey includes a selection of archival photographs and eye-catching artworks combined with expertly written text by leading curators, art historians and critics, including Sir Norman Rosenthal and Sir Simon Schama.

Compiled with the full involvement of David Hockney and his studio, and featuring a large landscape format with a selection of gatefolds that allows the reader to enjoy the art, this is the most important book on Hockney's entire career to date and will appeal to the many fans of the artist's work around the world.
