David Hockney’s prints are among the most recognisable and widely collected works in contemporary art. Spanning decades of innovation, from early lithographs to iPad drawings, they offer an accessible entry point into one of Britain’s most influential artistic practices.
At MODO, we specialise exclusively in Hockney’s work. With over two decades of focused experience in the market, we work with collectors across the UK and internationally to source, present, and place prints with clarity and confidence.
MODO works with collectors at every stage, from those encountering David Hockney’s work for the first time to established buyers building and refining collections, as well as institutions and galleries acquiring at scale, both in the UK and internationally. Each work is presented with clarity and context, supporting informed acquisition alongside close looking.
A Specialist Approach to Hockney Prints
Hockney’s printmaking is not a secondary output, it is central to his exploration of perception, image-making, and technology. From the Arrival of Spring series to earlier photographic and lithographic works, each period reflects a distinct way of seeing.
Prints vary significantly in:
-
edition size
-
medium and production method
-
condition and provenance
-
market demand
Understanding these factors is essential when acquiring work with long-term value.
What Types of Hockney Prints Are Available
Collectors typically encounter:
-
Lithographs and etchings – early and mid-career works, often smaller editions
-
Photographic works and joiners – key conceptual pieces exploring time and perspective
-
iPad drawings and digital works – widely recognised contemporary series, including Normandy landscapes
-
Exhibition posters – entry-level works with historical context
Availability changes constantly, and many works are placed privately before reaching public listings.
Price Ranges
Price ranges vary depending on medium, rarity, and significance:
-
Entry-level works: approximately £250–£20,000
-
Mid-range editions: £20,000–£100,000
-
Rare and highly sought-after works, including major pieces: £100,000 to £1m+
