£2,950.00

Artist: Howard Hodgkin

We loved this the moment we set eyes on it. It's got movement, energy, warmth - maybe something of the soul of both Sir Howard and his friend Mr Hockney, too: art, love and life?

Hodgkin based this print on a trip he took to visit his good friend David Hockney in Los Angeles. The mid-eighties saw new levels of abstraction in Hodgkin’s work, building exuberantly off the ambiguous spaces of his earlier work. The artist used six colours of paint, producing a unique depth and texture to each print in this edition.

Howard Hodgkin was introduced to the etching technique used in DH in Hollywood at Petersburg Press, where he was a long-time collaborator. Soft-ground etching allowed him to work fluidly and spontaneously, giving his prints the characteristic black brushstrokes seen in this print.

Approximate dimensions: 21.3 × 27.9 cm

Soft-ground etching (from one plate) with hand colouring in watercolour (orange-red, brown, and green) and oil pastel (red and blue), printed on off-white BFK mould made paper. Signed by the artist with initials, dated 85, and numbered 81/100 lower centre in pencil.
