About this report
WHY DOWNLOAD THE REPORT?
David Hockney’s print market has entered a new phase. In 2025, total sales reached £15.8 million across 389 lots, marking the strongest annual performance of the past decade. But the significance of this moment is not simply that the market grew. It’s how that growth was generated.
Value is now increasingly concentrated in a select group of high-performing works, led by The Arrival Of Spring, while the wider core market continues to show steady, durable activity across more accessible price points.
For buyers, the report offers clarity on where demand is strongest, which series are gaining momentum, and why title-level research is now essential. For sellers, it identifies where recent benchmarks have reset expectations, particularly in the premium segment, and why timing and positioning have become decisive.
A RECORD YEAR FOR HOCKNEY PRINTS
Understand how Hockney’s print market reached £15.8 million in 2025, with sales value rising 197% year-on-year and average price increasing 109% to £40,500. The report examines why this was a structural shift in how value is now generated in this market.
CORE MARKET VS PREMIUM MARKET
Explore the widening gap between Hockney’s liquid core market and its increasingly dominant premium tier. Works below £50,000 continue to account for the majority of transactions, while works above £100,000 now generate a disproportionate share of total value.
THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING MARKET RESET
See how two consecutive supply events in 2025 and Q1 2026 repriced The Arrival Of Spring series, establishing new benchmarks across editions of 10 and 25. The report explains why this repricing appears structural rather than event-led.
HOCKNEY’S DIGITAL PRINT MARKET EXPANDS
Go beyond The Arrival Of Spring to understand growing demand for Digital Drawings, Moving Focus, and THe Yosemite Suite. The report identifies the specific titles and formats driving performance.
