Folio.

 

The book is copy number '0000'. This 'sumo edition' was originally not for sale and was presumably used as the last check before the start of the official production. The book is a majestic visual survey of David Hockney’s art. In it, Hockney takes stock of more than 60 years of work, from his teenage days at art school up to his recent extensive series of portraits, iPad drawings, and Yorkshire landscapes.
