A series of artworks by David Hockney will be going under the hammer this Autumn, “celebrating the achievements” of the influential Bradford-born artist.
Paintings, photographs and sketches by the 85-year-old artist will go to auction at Phillips in Berkeley Square on September 13.
The auction will feature highlights from South African collectors Andrew and Sandy Ovenstone, who own the Cape Dutch homestead known as Stellenberg Gardens.
These include 1984 painting Tyler Dining Room, Celia In A Wicker Chair from 1974, and arguably Hockney’s most sought-after 1979 edition, Afternoon Swimming.
Phillips’ Robert Kennan said: “This sale looks to celebrate the achievements of David Hockney to date.
“The auction is an opportunity to acquire a Hockney work at all price points, from entry level works priced at £1,000 to those higher value pieces at £250,000 and above.”
All proceeds from this sale will go to funding new acquisitions by contemporary South African artists.
