David Hockney (1937) - Signierte Art Card “The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate 2011” - in Swiss hand-made case

This rare and sought-after, hand-signed by David Hockney Art Card shows the work “The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 (twenty eleven) – 2 June,” an iPad drawing from 2011.

The art card is hand-signed by David Hockney with a black pen at the bottom center.

About the work
After about twenty years in Southern California, Hockney returned to East Yorkshire. The landscape of his homeland became an important source of inspiration for him and led to a new, intensive creative period in which digital techniques gained increasing significance.

As early as 2010, Hockney began using the iPad as an artistic medium. This allowed him to draw en plein air directly and to capture the changing light, the weather, and the passage of the seasons as they unfolded.

“The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 (twenty eleven) – 2 June” vividly demonstrates how Hockney combines traditional landscape depiction and drawing with the possibilities of digital art.

The depiction shows a tree with numerous branching limbs and fresh green leaves in a springlike landscape. The bright greens, the light blue sky, and the lively line work convey the special atmosphere of early summer in East Yorkshire.

Framing
The Art Card is mounted in a floating manner on canvas within a acid-free double matting in an exclusive Swiss hand-made Plexiglas showcase.
Showcase dimensions: approx. 41 x 51 cm

About the artist:
David Hockney (1937–2026) is regarded as one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. With his iconic swimming pool paintings, intimate portraits, landscapes, and his groundbreaking experiments with photography and digital media, he inspired generations of artists and collectors.

Hockney died on June 11, 2026, at the age of 88. Thus ended an extraordinary artistic career spanning more than six decades. He was celebrated worldwide as an artist who continuously reinvented himself while always remaining recognizable in his unmistakable visual language, his unique sense of color, his optimism, and his exceptional powers of observation.

Hockney was not only an icon of contemporary art but also one of the most successful living artists ever. His painting “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” achieved a price of over $90 million at auction in 2018, setting a world record for a living artist. His personal fortune was estimated at around $200 million, while the total value of his artistic estate—comprising thousands of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and digital works—will likely exceed one billion US dollars.

With his death, a new chapter begins in the international art market. It is expected that demand for authentic and hand-signed works by David Hockney will continue to rise in the coming years.
