Overview
Published for the landmark 1988 exhibition organized by Maurice Tuchman and Stephanie Barron, David Hockney: A Retrospective surveys the artist across painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, publications, and stage design. The exhibition brought together approximately 250 works and traveled from Los Angeles to New York and London. Its catalogue offers a substantial view of Hockney at a pivotal point in his career, joining familiar images to the wider range of experiments through which he explored representation and ways of seeing.
Why It Belongs
This is the right kind of Hockney book with which to begin the Reference Library’s representation of the artist. It is a period publication made in connection with a major, three-city retrospective, rather than a later overview assembled after the fact. Its breadth lets a collector see the relationship between Hockney’s paintings and his work in other media.
