Original David Hockney Prints For Sale

Printmaking has remained at the core of Hockney's practice for over 70 years. He has created some of the most essential editions of the last century, collaborating with master printers such as Maurice Payne and Ken Tyler.

Hockney was particularly captivated by etching during his earliest years as a printmaker. The process of creating an etching suited his extraordinary skills as a draughtsman, helping him to evolve his distinct visual language. Lithography was also integral to his practice; known as 'the painter's medium', lithography enabled Hockney to expand his painterly prowess.

In 1986, Hockney applied the logic of traditional printmaking to the rudimentary process of printing with a photocopier machine. He used the unconventional device to create innovative, multi-layered 'home-made' prints. These experimental prints are the antecedents of his iPad drawings, which have redefined the possibilities of graphic art in the 21st century. 

Whilst the price tag is significantly smaller for his original prints than his unique works, they are no less important and can be found in major public and private collections across the globe. Purchasing his prints allows collectors to take home a museum-quality artwork by contemporary art's reigning champion.
