This stunning oversized volume (14" x 10.75" x 0.5") showcases the contemporary master's dazzling and inventive posters created between 1987 and 1994, following the success of the first book, "Hockney Posters," published in 1987.

Published by Chronicle Books in 1994, with foreword by Brian Baggot, this volume features thirty-eight of Hockney's most notable posters reproduced in large format, reflecting his wide influence and international appeal.

The vibrant, full-page reproductions capture Hockney's revolutionary approach to color, composition, and graphic design. As noted in the foreword, this collection demonstrates that "posters are worth keeping as works of art and can be as collectable as oil paintings" when they are quality reproductions.

About the Artist:
David Hockney (b. 1937) is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century and a pivotal figure in the Pop Art movement. Known for his vibrant swimming pool paintings, photographic collages, and innovative use of technology in art-making, Hockney's poster work represents a significant aspect of his artistic legacy, with many pieces supervised or directly produced by the artist himself. As noted in the foreword, Hockney's revived interest in poster design connects to his broader exploration of accessible reproduction methods including photo-collages, faxes, and Xerox machines.

Style Notes:
This oversized art book makes a sophisticated statement in any design library or coffee table arrangement. The striking cover featuring Hockney's bold use of color and graphic elements introduces a vibrant pop of color to minimalist spaces. Display open to showcase one of the 38 full-color reproductions, or integrate into gallery wall collections for an artistic touch. The substantial size creates presence in a bookshelf vignette or as a featured piece on a console table.
