A YEAR IN YORKSHIRE: New Paintings.

First edition. Signed by the author (David Hockney). Publisher's white cloth boards with colour wraparound illustration and titles in grey and black. Illustrated in colour throughout including two fold-out plates. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little rubbing and a few light marks to the extremities. The contents are clean and bright throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Illustrated with colour plates throughout, two of which are folding.

Inscribed by David Hockney 'For Louisa / love / David H' in brown ink on the title page, scarce thus. The catalogue was issued to accompany the exhibition of 25 new paintings by David Hockney created en plein air in the East Yorkshire countryside over a year from July 2005. The paintings span the four seasons through the scorched landscape of summer, the autumn mists, frozen winter scenes and the blossoming of spring.
