A wonderful image of the famous Salts Mill in Saltaire, Yorkshire, home to one of the world's largest collections of work by Hockney. It was established in its current form by Jonathan Silver, a close friend of the artist. During a visit by Hockney in the summer of 1997, Silver encouraged him to paint Yorkshire. A series of oils duly began to appear, resplendent scenes of vibrant colour and dreamlike perspective. This was to eventually culminate in Hockney's acclaimed exhibition of landscapes at the Royal Academy in 2012.
The artist would regularly drop in to Salts Mill, and while there would sign prints and posters for visitors. This piece was purchased directly from the gallery in Saltaire, and is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a work only one step removed from Hockney himself.
This piece is quintessential Hockney, capturing his profound appreciation for life, love and landscape. It's a wonderful artefact from a productive and critically acclaimed moment in his career, replete with biographical significance.
