| book description |
Published in association with the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, this vivid and visually engaging large-format book offers a detailed journey through Hockney’s remarkable life and career. Playful, keen eyed, ever curious, David Hockney is one of our greatest contemporary artists. Published in association with the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, and tied to its major 2025 exhibition, David Hockney charts an extraordinarily creative life through images and text in one large-format landscape book. The artworks chosen reflect Hockney’s key themes and preoccupations over 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 of the chapters are arranged thematically, ranging from still life and portraits to his much-loved landscapes and stunning designs for opera. A final chapter explores Hockney’s engagement with digital art, particularly on the iPad. Throughout, we see the endless inventiveness, curiosity and creativity that have characterized Hockney’s work over eight decades. To give context to Hockney’s art, this definitive survey features a selection of archival photographs and eye-catching artworks allied to expertly written text by pre-eminent curatorial experts, art historians and critics, including Sir Norman Rosenthal and Sir Simon Schama. Compiled with the full involvement of David Hockney and his studio, and with a large-scale landscape format with a selection of gatefolds that enables the reader to revel in 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 across the globe.
