London – The sale An Even Bigger Picture: David Hockney & Friends made a splash today (25 June) at Bonhams New Bond Street, London. The top lot of the 42-lot sale was Lithograph of Water Made of Lines and a Green Wash, which sold for £108,350. The auction, dedicated to Hockney together with his contemporary makers, muses and friends, showcased the artist's prolific printmaking career and unrelenting desire for creative innovation from the 1960s to the present day.

Bonhams Editions I & II Sales achieved an impressive total over £1.5 million, with 86% by lot and 100% by value for David Hockney & Friends.

Carolin von Massenbach, Bonhams Head of Prints & Multiples, commented: "We are delighted with the results of both of today's sales, which saw impressive prices achieved across the board with such an amazing variety of works on offer. In addition, our dedicated Hockney sale proved that the market for his works, especially from the early stages of his printmaking career in addition to his later iPad drawings, is particularly strong. With 2025 also bringing us a monumental retrospective exhibition at Foundation Louis Vuitton, this is clearly the time to dive into Hockney, and collectors cannot get enough."
