Book - David Hockney. A Bigger Book - Taschen

The first TASCHEN SUMO publication for a painter, A Bigger Book, is a majestic visual exploration of David Hockney's art.  Hockney summarizes over 60 years of work, from his youth at art school to his recent extensive series of portraits, iPad drawings, and Yorkshire landscapes. Never before has Hockney's work been published on such a scale, with such an artist’s investment and on such an astonishing level.
