About the Item

David Hockney Four Part Splinge, 1993 Signed, inscribed, titled, dated and numbered 30/48 in pencil Lithograph and screenprint 47 x 64 inches (overall). 119.4 x 162.6 cm Edition of 48 David Hockney is a pioneering figure of the 1960s British art movement and one of the most celebrated and prolific artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Known for his versatility, he has embraced a remarkable range of media, from acrylic painting and photo-collage to digital works created on iPads, as well as full-scale opera set designs. Hockney first gained prominence with his semi-abstract depictions of gay love, before moving to California in 1964, where he immortalised Southern California life in pastel-toned scenes of swimming pools, palm trees and sunlit homes. Born in 1937, Hockney studied at the Royal College of Art in London before relocating to the United States, where his vibrant and intimate paintings earned him international acclaim. He has exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. In the art market, David Hockney’s works continue to command extraordinary prices. His most famous painting, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972), remains his most expensive at auction, where it sold for US $90.3 million at Christie’s New York in 2018, setting a then-record for a living artist. More recently, a group of 17 of his iPad drawings from The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series fetched £6.2 million at Sotheby’s London, dramatically exceeding their pre-sale estimate. Hockney’s body of work bridges tradition and innovation, combining bold compositional vision with emotional intimacy. From his sweeping Californian landscapes to his digitally rendered print editions, his art continues to inspire and resonate, both in major institutions and on the global market.

And it was a very fascinating time because it was a highly conceptually based school. Very much influenced by Joseph Beuys, and European Conceptualism, I didn’t really like the atmosphere there that much, because it was dominated by male painters like Jörg Immendorf, Marcus Lupertz, and a few others. then came to New York to study at SVA for two years. New York in 1978 was exciting. I was very lucky to be in a class that was full of very bubbly and very energetic artists like Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Tim Rollins, Moira Dryer, Frank Holliday, and Tom Cugliani (who later became one of my dealers).The eighties were dominated largely by Neo-Expressionist paintings. There were Germans, such as Baselitz, Kiefer, Richter, Penck, and the Italians, Clemente, Chia, Cucchi, Palladino as well as Schnabel, Fischl, Basquiat, Salle, and many others, but all of their paintings were figuratively based. But below the popular consent, there was a group of painters who were working more in the vein of what Stephen Westfall referred to as “Neo-Surrealism,” including George Condo, Jeffrey Wasserman, Kenneth Scharf, David Humphrey. However, I felt that Carroll Dunham and you were the only two painters who seemed to be less interested in the kind of narrative, lyrical, or let’s say, stationary composition. He belongs to the generation of Terry Winters, Elizabeth Murray, David Reed and Jonathan Lasker but in some strange way, if we’re looking back to the mid-eighties, we have to include New Image painters like Susan Rothenberg, Neil Jenney, and Robert Moskowitz who were working in between the figure and abstraction with a kind of condensation and compression, in relationship, lets say, to cartoon imagery. There are artists like Jeff Koons, or even Damien Hirst who took the Duchampian aspect and brought it into the continuity of his readymade. But for me, I see no difference between the crack in “Large Glass” and the drips in Jackson Pollock’s paintings. There was something that I felt in my own equation of the continuity between Paul Klee, Duchamp, Picabia, and, oddly enough, Clyfford Still. What essentially is important is how different artists carry on a dialogue among themselves so that they can all keep their work vital. Whether from the abstract paintings of Richmond Burton, Fabian Marcaccio extending the borders of his paintings on to the wall, or Cady Noland’s early scattered installation, my own pre-occupation with machinery, urban environment, and the Duchampian models has always materialized in relationship to other forms of art making.
