DAVID HOCKNEY - Gentlemen’s Dressing Room for Europalia 73

1973

A fine and highly collectible color offset lithograph by one of Britain’s most influential and internationally acclaimed artists.

The work is hand-signed by David Hockney in blue ballpoint at the top of the mirror. 

This offset lithograph is the official promotional poster for the Europalia Great Britain cultural festival in 1973, and connects directly to a significant cultural event in Hockney’s career.The work is also monogrammed and dated in the plate.

The composition reflects Hockney’s masterful balance of wit, elegance, and modernist sensibility. A freestanding antique mirror is adorned with a cascade of vibrantly patterned neckties, draped casually over its side. The absence of a reflected figure invites the viewer to imaginatively step into the scene—echoing the artist’s recurring themes of identity, perception, and presence.
Professionally framed to museum standards, in a custom-made, acid-free double passe-partout and presented in a deep, handcrafted white wooden frame, made in the Netherlands, with Plexiglas® Optical HC, for UV protection, scratch resistance, and minimal reflection.

Size framed : approx. 77 x 62 cm
