This original vintage poster was designed by David Hockney for the exhibition David Hockney: Moving Focus Prints from Tyler Graphics Ltd. at the Tate Gallery, London, in 1986. The show featured an extensive series of color lithographs produced in collaboration with master printer Kenneth Tyler between 1984 and 1986. The poster highlights Views of Hotel Well III, which depicts the inner courtyard of the Hotel Romano Ángeles in the small town of Acatlán, Mexico. Intricate and visually dynamic, the image is constructed from multiple overlapping perspectives, giving viewers the sensation of moving through the space—shifting focus, looking up and down, side to side simultaneously. Its playful, bold, saturated colors evoke the lush vegetation and intense Mexican sunlight. In the poster design, Views of Hotel Well III is framed with the information below in layered strips of text, pasted and spliced together, echoing the collage-like construction of the image itself. Due to its distinctive design, relative scarcity, and high quality, this premium lithograph—printed on heavy matte paper with exceptional fidelity to the original—has become a sought-after collectible.
