A rare exhibition poster, created to promote Hockney’s 2001-2002 show at Louisiana Museum for Moderne Kunst, Denmark. The poster features his energetic 1980 painting ‘Nichols Canyon,’ which makes use of vibrant hues of blue, green, and orange, as well as fluid perspective, to depict the Los Angeles landscape, an area that was deeply influential to Hockney and often depicted in works of this time. 
 
David Hockney (born 1937) is one of the most influential British artists. He has explored a diverse range of techniques over the years including painting, printmaking, drawing, set design, videography, photography and digital art. He was an innovative printmaker with technology early in his career which has gained recent traction again drawing on his iPhone and iPad. Hockney explores everything from still life and domestic scenes to portraits and landscapes, whilst also addressing themes in his own life such as sexuality. Hockney’s style is iconic and recognisable with its warm feeling and lively, colourful palette. In 2018, Hockney’s Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) became the most expensive artwork by a living artist to be sold at auction when it sold in New York for $90 million. Hockney’s work is held in countless international collections and museums.
