DAVID HOCKNEY "PAPER POOLS" 1980
David Hockney (b.1937) is one of the most valuable, versatile, and distinctive British artists of the 20th century.
The artist came to prominence in the 1960s with his depictions of quirky domestic scenes and queer relationships. He contributed to the emergence of Pop Art in England.
Hockney has experimented with and mastered numerous art mediums, having worked with photography, collage, drawing, painting, set design, and printmaking. His style has evolved during his lengthy career, yet his work is always identifiable for a certain optimism and je ne sais quoi joy.
In 1964, Hockney began painting pools, which have become the most significant and iconic motif in the artist's oeuvre. His depictions of swimming pools highlight the leisure and vibrancy of Southern California life. Although today such images don't feel as emblematic of Pop Art as compared to some of the work of his American contemporaries, they are remarkable for their simplicity and the era's interest in depicting scenes or elements of daily life.
Hockney's images of swimming pools have a universal appeal. Not surprisingly these works have sold for millions of dollars. Check out some examples here, and here, and even photography
Hockney's iconic 1972 painting "Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures)" sold for a record $90.3 million at auction in 2018.
David Hockney has exhibited internationally at prominent art institutions including the MoMA, the Royal Academy of Arts, and the National Portrait Gallery.
This work, "Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book" is one of the most-sought after prints Hockney has made.
