It was a truly inspiring show from a truly inspiring artist.Layaways are a courtesy offered to our customers by The Collection Shop. Hirst’s retrospective left me feeling underwhelmed and while I really enjoyed Shrigley’s show it was Hockney’s Bigger Picture exhibition that really blew me away.Īt age seventy four this was a man embracing new technologies, making new discoveries and as passionate as ever about making art. About The ArtistĪs Britain’s most famous living artist David Hockney doesn’t need too much of an introduction.īorn in 1937 he’s pretty much had a pencil, paintbrush (or iPad) in his hand ever since.Ī couple of years ago I went to London to see three huge solo shows – Damien Hirst, David Shrigley and David Hockney. Any value increase it develops over time is just a welcome bonus.
I used to have this Hockney poster of Mr Clark while at art college and it’s now worth around £400 – more than 60 times what I paid for it!īut like any art purchase I’d recommend buying something because you love it and want to live with it.
Or check out the David Hockney auctions on The Saleroom which aggregates lots from auction houses across the UK.
So that exhibition poster you passed up in the gallery shop could go on to be a nice little investment if the art stars align correctly.īut if you do have some money to spend on an original Hockney etching (don’t even think about buying an original Hockney painting online!) then your best bet is the Goldmark Gallery who have a nice selection of signed and unsigned etchings and lithographs. He acquired most of them for nothing yet 25 years later they went on to fetch over £90,000 at Christie’s auction house! See the full story here in a 1999 edition of The Independent. There’s a great story about an airline worker who collected more than 100 David Hockney posters as he couldn’t afford to buy the original paintings or prints he loved.
