David Hockney’s print market in 2025 is no longer a footnote to his paintings; it has become a mature collecting category in its own right. Over the past decade, turnover in his hand-signed prints has risen more than fourfold — from roughly $1.66 million in 2015 to over $9.2 million in 2024, even after the wider market cooled from a 2023 peak near $17.9 million.
At the centre of this ,majot shift towards prints is The Arrival of Spring — Hockney’s luminous iPad-based landscapes of Woldgate and Normandy — supported by the Yosemite suites and his wider iPad practice. Today, these works stand at the intersection of recognisable subject matter, institutional strength and sustained market performance.
