    - David Hockney

    Our David Hockney Price Database brings together auction results and known private sales across the artist’s major series, helping collectors understand how values have developed over time. By tracking individual works and comparable sales, the database provides greater context around pricing, demand and the differences in value between series, editions and individual images.

     

    Private sale data is particularly important because auction results only show part of the market. Many significant Hockney works are bought and sold privately, meaning these transactions are rarely visible in traditional auction databases. By combining public auction records with our knowledge of private sales, we can provide a more complete picture of the market and a better indication of where works are actually trading.
