This is a signed iPad drawing by David Hockney from The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011. It was drawn on 22 March 2011 and printed in colour on wove paper in an edition of 25. It measures 140 x 105.6 cm and is signed, numbered and dated on the front. The work is framed.
About the work
On 22 March 2011, as the season began to turn, Hockney drew a single twisting, leafless tree in warm yellows, ochres and browns. The branches are still bare, but the colour shows spring is close. Hockney made the drawing on an iPad, working from what he saw on the spot. It was later printed at full scale, so the speed and confidence of each digital mark is still visible.
About the series
The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 is Hockney’s record of one season, drawn almost day by day. Woldgate is a country road outside Bridlington, near where Hockney lived and worked at the time. The sequence starts on New Year’s Day 2011 and runs into early June. It follows the frost and bare branches of winter through to the full green growth of late spring.
The series was the centrepiece of David Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2012. The iPad drawings were shown together with a monumental oil painting of the same title, made on 32 canvases. It remains one of the most celebrated projects in Hockney’s digital work.
About the artist
David Hockney was born in Bradford in 1937 and is one of the most influential British artists of the past century. Throughout his career he has taken up new tools as they appeared: photocopiers, fax machines, then the iPhone from 2008 and the iPad from 2010. He made The Arrival of Spring a year after he began drawing on the iPad. In the series, that new technology serves an old subject: the Yorkshire landscape he grew up in.

“I have both bought and consigned with Lougher since last year. Always had a very positive experience dealing with all staff at the gallery in both advice on pricing, demand for works, and the consignment process. They are always able to turn things round quickly if required and are super responsive to any queries. I would highly recommend either buying or consigning with Lougher.”
