Hockney has spent his career refusing to settle. Pool paintings in Los Angeles, double portraits in London, photographic collages, opera sets, fax drawings, iPad landscapes — each shift read at the time as a detour, and in hindsight as the same question asked again: how do you put the experience of looking onto a flat surface?
He is the most valuable living British artist by auction record, but the market that matters to collectors is quieter than the headlines: the etchings, the inkjet series, the Yorkshire landscapes, and the small window studies made in Normandy during lockdown. Editions circulate steadily; the strongest impressions do not.
We buy and sell Hockney across the secondary market, on both sides of the transaction, and we hold condition and provenance records on everything we place.
