David Hockney (b. 1937) has been delighting and challenging art lovers for almost 60 years. Working in a wide range of media with wit and intelligence, his art has examined, probed, and questioned how the perceived world of movement, space, and time can be captured in two dimensions. This stunning monograph and the retrospective exhibition it accompanied explore Hockney’s entire career, allowing an overview of his constantly evolving style and exploring his return to favored themes. From abstract expressionism to naturalism to his play with illusion and imagination, parody, and self-reflexivity, Hockney’s preoccupation with looking, perception, and representation can be traced throughout. Showcasing more than 200 works in all media from across the six decades of Hockney’s remarkable career, this book will delight existing fans of the artist while giving new audiences the fullest possible introduction to his life and work. The book is the catalogue for the acclaimed exhibition that originated at Tate Britain in February 2017 and traveled to the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely addition to a collection of exhibit catalogues
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018

This is a lovely addition to any collection of exhibit catalogues and a great companion to the retrospective at the Tate Britain last year (2017). Substantively, I think the content is thoughtful and interesting without reading like a textbook or biography. The book quality is good, though I think that the hard-back version is quite a bit nicer and in retrospect, I would have shelled out a little more for it over the soft-back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous companion book to the best Hockney exhibition ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018

I saw this exhibition in London last year, and was blown away. It shows his evolution as an artist, always changing, always experimenting. The show - and book - are dense, packed with his very best work from the last six decades. The book itself is beautifully printed and laid out, the cover is thick and strong and meant to last. This is *the* Hockney book of the moment.

Shows a wide range of Hockney's work and a good balance between text and images. I got the soft cover and still think it looks as presentable as the hard-cover without having to spend too much!

3.0 out of 5 stars Terrific reproductions of the art, rather tepid thinking and writing
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
I love Hockney's work, and found the catalog rather disappointing. It seems to be aimed at students of art history -- the accompanying texts are more about historical context (which style is Hockney using or ignoring or commenting on here?) and sources (this image is from a men's physique magazine, that one from ancient Egyptian sculpture) than about the paintings it's supposedly discussing. Any discussion of individual works is usually quite brief and only occasionally illuminating or helpful in examining the piece itself. This was presumably intentional on the part of the editors, since the various individual contributors all seem to write with the same voice. I will confess that for those reasons I gave up on the texts about halfway through, and just concentrated on the reproductions, which are excellent. I also didn't read the "essays" at the end. So maybe I missed some things. But I'd still rather have had more on the specific works and much, much less on its various contexts. The writing, for me, gets a lot of facts and factoids but misses much of Hockney's spirit and élan.

This book is an excellent example of David Hockney's work, it offers a full career retrospective as well as bright, vibrant examples of work from across the six-decades of creating. I would recommend it to any admirer of his work, as well as anyone seeking to learn a bit more about the artist.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great catalogue, but it is extremely overpriced!!!!!!
Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
The single star is for the price, not the book! I ordered this book because it's an important exhibition catalogue, so an important addition to my art library. I opted for the soft cover since the hard cover (my preference) was $200 more, and at over $250 for the soft cover it was already a big investment. when it arrived I was astonished to see that the original price was 33 pounds sterling, so approximately $60 Canadian. This book is also a 2nd printing. My final total, even though I'm a Prime member, was just under $360 CDN! The mark up here is quite frankly just greedy, and I would say unethical in the gouging of customers. I want to keep the book but feel completely ripped, the cost of which in my mind is in no way justifiable as a 'fair market price'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lasting reminder of a life times work to date
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2017

The exhibition was a superb display of the genius of this artist. Such a width of media employed: from photographic en-prints arranged in brilliant montages to gigantic paintings, video and film - not to mention the finest draughtsmanship with manipulation and application of colour. The catalogue is as far as is practical, a fine, lasting reminder of the comprehensive exhibition at the Tate Britain this year

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction and a great selection of his best pieces
Reviewed in France on April 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
The exhibit gathered not a very wide selection of his work (even if it is the widest ever put on) but made an excellent selection of his work in the decades and allowed the viewer to see so clearly the evolution of his work as if one was stading watching an accelerated video of the hours of one day from the same still perspective. The book definitely is a must if you liked the exhibit as it completes questions and fills in context to his wonderful work. Doubtlessly one of the greatest artists of our time and a great book to read and browse every now and then.

Just my opinion but I would say that this is the finest piece of work to summarize this remarkable artist's beautiful work throughout his whole career. Everything you need to see is here; it's as close as you can get to having the Tate gallery exhibition living on your bookshelf. And a steal at this price.
