    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 31 May No. 1 2011 captures the landscape at a point of full seasonal growth, with dense foliage and heightened colour dominating the scene. A soft purple and pink-toned path runs through the centre of the composition, drawing the viewer towards a rounded opening in the distance. Trees in full leaf form a layered canopy above, while clusters of white flowers appear in the foreground on the right. A small architectural element emerges at the edge of the image, a recurring structural feature within Hockney’s iPad series that anchors the natural setting.

     

    The edition structure of the Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series includes both regular-format works (editions of 25) and a smaller group of large-format prints (editions of 10). This dual format has played a key role in the series’ appeal, offering collectors a balance between accessibility and rarity while maintaining strong market credibility.
