David Hockney iPad drawings of Yorkshire Wolds to be sold at auction | David Hockney
When David Hockney moved to Bridlington’s more intermittent sunlight from working in the burning sunlight of Beverly Hills, he had a problem: in January, you feel how to paint it outdoors and colds in the eastern rider of Yorkshire in the 70s.
He planned to paint the gradual arrival of spring to a knight to the most plein air, but he realized that it was “a little difficult when you stop there in winter”.
The solution was to use the iPad and to make drawings on the Blockbuster 2012 show at the Royal Academy Art Academy in London.
Sotheby’s now 17 iPad drawing prints for sales, spring coming to Woldgate. Hockney’s largest group, the largest group of iPad, will be released, this month, one of the most important art fairs in the world, London will be sold during the Frieze week.
Yesica Marks, the president of the pressures in Sotheby’s, said that the sale of iPad prints is relatively rare and that many people were not remarkable in an auction.
“To put it on this, we sold only 24 iPad drawings by Hockney in about ten years worldwide, and only half of them are from this series,” he said. “So it is not seen to see 17 in an auction, and the market is not witnessed at all.
Marx said that the images of the pressures did not make them justice and that they had to see them closely to appreciate their “existence and effects”.
He said the pressures were intense and lively and full of life. “To be honest, the reason we do not sell them often is that people do not want to leave with them. Very valuable.”
Marks said Hockney is a long -term love relationship with technology. “Since the 80s, you’ve been likely to find in an office than an artist’s studio than the studio – Photoocopier, Fax Machine, would use Photoshop,” he said.
Hockney was also an early adoption of iPad, first published in 2010 by Apple and soon began to see its potential.
Born in Bradford, the artist moved his base from Los Angeles to Bridlington about twenty years ago and inspired Yorkshire Wolds’ frequently overlooked beauty.
In 2011, the plan was to paint the arrival of spring on a country called Woldgate. He planned to paint a knight that began in January, but the unpredictable winter atmosphere made it difficult.
Hockney, someone who felt a cold, was said, but there were problems that the painters have experienced for centuries. “The scene is constantly changing outside, especially in Northern Europe, because the light conditions remain rarely the same for a long time, Mart
“The sun is moving, the clouds pass over the sky. On the other hand, painting takes time. It can take a few hours or days to dissolve a finished picture.”
In the same catalog, Hockney explained his thought. Im I bought one of the first iPads, so I was drawing for seven months before I started these landscape drawings of the seasons, ”he wrote. “It took me a few months for me to learn the technique, but I knew how to get everything I wanted.
“The perfect environment for some things. Turner would love him. You can be very, very thin with transparent layers.”
88 -year -old Hockney continued to use his iPad, and drawings from his time in Normandy will take part in a show at the Serpentin Gallery in London next year.
The prints sold by Sotheby’s come from a single collection and are sold separately with estimates ranging from £ 80,000 to £ to £ 120,000 to £ -180,000. The lowest total estimation is £ 1.7 million. They will be sold on October 17th.
