A Picture of Two Chairs, 1985-1986
Lithograph and etching in colours on HMP White handmade wove paper
18 4/5 × 21 9/10 in | 47.8 × 55.6 cm
David Hockney remains one of the most influential living artists, whose contributions to contemporary art have shaped visual culture for over six decades. His works consistently achieve remarkable results at auction, reflecting sustained institutional and collector demand that few of his contemporaries can match. From his early Pop-inflected paintings to his expansive landscape works and pioneering explorations of technology, Hockney has continually reinvented his practice while maintaining an unmistakable visual language. A Picture of Two Chairs dates from a particularly fertile period in Hockney's printmaking career during the mid-1980s, when he was deeply engaged with the possibilities of combining lithography and etching techniques. This work exemplifies his enduring fascination with domestic interiors and the spatial relationships between ordinary objects—a theme that connects to his celebrated earlier paintings while demonstrating his evolving approach to perspective and colour. The two chairs, rendered with characteristic economy of line and vibrant chromatic sensibility, become vehicles for exploring how we perceive depth and inhabit space. Executed as a lithograph and etching in colours on HMP White handmade wove paper, this impression comes from an edition of sixty. The combination of printmaking techniques allows for both the gestural freedom of lithography and the precise linear qualities of etching, resulting in a work of considerable technical sophistication. At 47.8 × 55.6 cm, the intimate scale invites close looking and rewards sustained attention to Hockney's nuanced handling of colour and form.
