The Hockney Interviews

The Hockney Interviews brings together expansive conversations held between art world icon David Hockney, who is best known for his large scale, vivid paintings, and pre-eminent curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist. Friends since 2006, when Obrist first visited Hockney in his London studio, the conversations span a 16-year period to the present day. Exploring Hockneys dedicated and prolific practice, his relationship with fellow artists Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon, fervent preoccupation with painting nature, ruminations on new technologies and his love of smoking - Hockneys musings are as bold and varied as his work. The Hockney Interviews is a hardback reading book and intimate portrait of David Hockney, one of the worlds most distinguished living artists. Fully illustrated with rarely seen portraits in conjunction with artworks spanning the breadth of Hockneys artistic career.
