Insights
Hockney collaborated closely through all production stages and conceived of this book as a purely visual survey of more than 450 works prefaced by a handwritten programmatic statement. The vast volume is as much his own personal review as it is a definitive record for art lovers all over the world. Presented on a Mark Newson bookstand, this sumptuous portfolio contextualises the artist’s oeuvre in a mesmerising format.
