London – With a diverse array of instantly recognisable works in numerous mediums from across an over six decade long career, David Hockney is one of the world's most popular artists working today. With a major exhibition currently taking place at Foundation Louis Vuitton, Paris, there is no better time to celebrate his incredible career and his continued commitment to creating innovative works.

On 25 June 2025 (starting at 1.30pm) , Bonhams will host an auction dedicated to Hockney and in particular his pioneering printmaking with An Even Bigger Picture: David Hockney & Friends at Bonhams New Bond Street, London, which will take place alongside the Summer Fine Prints & Multiples sale (25 June at 3pm). The dedicated auction will highlight Hockney's prolific printmaking career, together with contemporary creative makers, muses and friends, from the 1960s to the present day.

Estimates in the more than 40-lot sale range from £500 to £100,000. Carolin von Massenbach, Bonhams Head of Prints & Multiples, commented: "Bonhams is proud to have introduced the first auction dedicated to Britain's most celebrated living artist, David Hockney, and with along-standing tradition of offering editions by Hockney, we are delighted to revive and reframe the auction by focusing on An Even Bigger Picture: David Hockney and Friends.

Whilst Hockney continues to actively create, we are seeing a surge of interest in the early stages of his printmaking career, in addition to his later iPad drawings, achieving exceptional results and solidifying his position as one of the most sought-after artists today. This is an exciting time to present the sale with 2025 being the year to celebrate Hockney's origins and legacy, marked by the monumental retrospective exhibition held at Foundation Louis Vuitton (David Hockney 25, Paris) and Hockney's hometown Bradford being the UK City of Culture 2025.

We are delighted to hold the auction alongside our particularly strong Fine Prints & Multiples sale, which showcase the very best of printmaking in all forms with highly desirable editions by Picasso, Warhol and Hirst." This dedicated sale aims to showcase Hockney as a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of each medium and promoting groundbreaking techniques of printmaking, presenting established genres through anew lens irrespective of styles and traditions.
