  • Catalogue Essay

    The present picture is distinguished by its enormous spatial plasticity. All of the visual clues in the painting pull and push at the space. The major vertical and horizontal lines in the background are not parallel and the results is that the perspective seems askew and mutable, moreover, the figure’s right arm projects towards the viewer with exaggerated energy. The image is alive, but with gothic, almost monstrous, vitality. The Collection of Victor and Sally Ganz, Pablo Picasso, Christie’s New York, November 10, 1997, lot 53.

    David Hockney (b. 1937) is one of the most well-known and celebrated artists of the
    20th and 21st centuries. He works across many mediums, including painting, collage,
    and more recently digitally, by creating print series on iPads. His works show semi-
    abstract representations of domestic life, human relationships, floral, fauna, and the
    changing of seasons.

    Academy of Arts in London, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, among many
    other institutions. On the secondary market, his work has sold for more than $90
