About the A Bigger Book & My Window Series
David Hockney A Bigger Book & My Window Prints For Sale
David Hockney's groundbreaking iPad drawings represent a pivotal moment in contemporary art history, demonstrating the artist's fearless embrace of digital technology as a legitimate medium for serious artistic practice. Created primarily between 2009 and 2011, with select works continuing into 2022, these luminous compositions capture Hockney's intimate observations of the natural world—particularly the changing seasons viewed from his Yorkshire home and his California residence. Works such as iPad Drawing No. 778, 17th April 2011 and iPad Drawing No. 610, 23rd December 2010 showcase the artist's masterful command of color and composition, translating his distinctive visual language into the digital realm with extraordinary vitality and immediacy.
The technical innovation demonstrated in these works cannot be overstated. Hockney, then in his seventies, recognized the iPad's potential as a drawing tool that offered unprecedented spontaneity and chromatic possibilities. Using his thumb or stylus with applications like Brushes, he created these works directly on the device, often working in the pre-dawn hours to capture fleeting light conditions. The resulting images—from the delicate lilac hues of iPad Drawing 329 (Lilac) to the vibrant seasonal representations throughout the series—were later printed in large-scale editions, transforming ephemeral digital gestures into substantial collectible works. This body of work featured prominently in his comprehensive retrospective exhibitions and the landmark publication A Bigger Book.
From a market perspective, Hockney's iPad drawings occupy a unique position within his oeuvre. As one of the world's most commercially successful living artists—whose painting Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) achieved a record-breaking auction result—these digital works offer collectors an accessible entry point into his practice while maintaining significant investment potential. The series demonstrates Hockney's continued relevance and innovation well into his eighth decade, attributes highly valued by discerning collectors. Limited edition prints from this series have shown consistent appreciation, particularly as institutions increasingly recognize digital art's legitimacy and historical importance.
Available works from this series through Guy Hepner.
