David Hockney A Retrospective, (Harry N. Abrams, Inc. 1988) is an exhibition book celebrating thirty years of Hockney’s work. Contributions by Henry Geldzahler, Christopher Knight, Gert Schiff, and Anne Hoy, among others.
If ever an artist deserved a retrospective, it is David Hockney, whose fiftieth birthday is being celebrated by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with an exhibition spanning thirty years of his work, the largest and most comprehensive Hockney exhibition ever mounted. To encompass his protean talents-as painter, printmaker, photographer, and stage designer, seven authors have contributed to this volume, which accompanies the exhibition. Hockney himself has designed a 24-page section of original prints created especially for this book, a bonus to the reader and a collector’s item
