About the The Yosemite Suite Series

David Hockney The Yosemite Suite Prints For Sale

David Hockney's The Yosemite Suite represents a pivotal moment in the artist's celebrated career, capturing the majesty of California's iconic national park through his distinctive vision and groundbreaking digital methodology. Created in 2010, this series of twenty-five iPad drawings marked Hockney's revolutionary embrace of digital technology as a serious artistic medium, demonstrating that innovation and traditional draftsmanship could merge seamlessly. At seventy-three, Hockney approached Yosemite's ancient landscapes with the enthusiasm of discovery, translating towering sequoias, dramatic rock formations, and verdant valleys into vibrant compositions that balance spontaneity with masterful control.

The technical achievement of The Yosemite Suite cannot be overstated. Each work was executed entirely on the iPad using the Brushes app, then printed as archival pigment prints in editions of twenty-five. This process allowed Hockney to work en plein air with unprecedented immediacy, capturing atmospheric conditions and fleeting light effects with bold strokes of saturated color. The prints themselves—produced to museum-quality standards—maintain the luminosity and chromatic intensity of the digital originals while offering collectors the tangible presence of a physical artwork. The series showcases Hockney's signature palette and compositional genius across varying subjects within Yosemite, from intimate forest studies to sweeping panoramas.

For collectors, The Yosemite Suite occupies a significant position within Hockney's oeuvre and the contemporary print market. These works bridge his lifelong fascination with landscape—extending from Yorkshire to Los Angeles—and his constant experimentation with emerging technologies, following his earlier fax and photocopier art. As Hockney's market has reached unprecedented heights in recent years, early digital works like this suite have garnered increased attention from institutions and private collectors alike. The limited edition size, combined with the series' art historical importance as pioneering digital prints by a modern master, positions these works as both accessible entry points to Hockney's practice and sophisticated additions to established collections.
