DAVID HOCKNEY (United Kingdom, 1937). "My window". Giclée on paper. Issue 217/250. In 2010, David Hockney unveiled a captivating iPad creation titled 'untitled No. 281, July 23, 2010'. 2019 edition. Measurements: 56 x 43 cm. Innovative to the end, renowned British artist David Hockney embraced the iPad as a new artistic medium in recent decades. In them, the window occupies a vertebral place, whether it appears physically as in this case or when, even if it does not appear, he paints the landscape looking out of the window of his house in Normandy, France. He even titled a publication that collected his drawings with an iPad "The Window". Hockney took advantage of the iPad's capabilities to create works with a characteristic vividness. He employed thick lines and saturated colors, reminiscent of his earlier paintings. Initially, Hockney used the iPad to draw and explore colors. He then transferred these digital works to large canvases, taking the iPad creations to a new dimension. The iPad provided Hockney with a convenient and portable tool for artistic expression. This freedom allowed for experimentation and a more spontaneous approach. These are drawings that celebrate the joy of living with a contemporary language. Hockney's iPad drawings not only demonstrate his adaptability as an artist, but also highlight the vast creative potential of the digital medium. A multidisciplinary British artist, David Hockney was a key figure in British pop art in the 1960s, and is now considered one of the most influential British pop artists of the 20th century. He made his solo debut in 1963, and only seven years later, in 1970, the Whitechapel Gallery in London dedicated his first major retrospective exhibition to him. More recently, important exhibitions have been dedicated to him, such as the portrait exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2006. His work has been shown all over the world, and he is currently represented in the Royal Collection, the Royal Academy, the Victoria & Albert and the British Museum in London, the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, the SMAK in Ghent, the J. Paul Getty in Los Angeles and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other collections.

Five art students removed the painting ‘Untitled (Stolen), 1969’ by Shusaku Arakawa, a performative response to Arakawa’s directive stencilled unto the work stating 'If possible steal any one of these drawings including this sentence'. The action raised questions of ownership and artistic agency, the painting was eventually ‘donated’ by the thieves-artists to the Wadsworth Museum in Hartford, Connecticut.
