$500! or $650 shipped International!!
Bit steep that.

the price is determined by demand and will increase as the item sells out !

Any idea if this was the starting price, or how many price tiers there are?

[Happy Shopper]

Just realised this is Aus Dollars... still about £390 to UK!
What happened to our exchange rate?... Oh, yeah...

David Hockney – A Bigger Book
November 29, 2016 - January 5, 2017

TASCHEN is thrilled to announce the opening of David Hockney – A Bigger Book at the TASCHEN Gallery in Los Angeles, an exhibition celebrating more than 60 years of work by our greatest living painter and the release of his new limited edition SUMO-sized monograph, A Bigger Book.

The exhibition presents a unique opportunity to dive head first into this extraordinary publication and the dazzling Hockney universe. 498 original pages from the SUMO book and 600 pages from the accompanying chronology have been displayed across the gallery’s 6,000-square-foot space, transforming it into an immersive and energetic showcase of the SUMO project.

I suspect that I now have all the Hockney books I am able to handle...

[Dr Plip]

On the subject of Hockney books.

If you like David Hockney and you like small dogs, you'll love this book.

You can pick it up incredibly cheaply.

[Hubble Bubble]

Am always on the lookout for a dog print to add to the collection but they don't come up that often.

[Hubble Bubble]

Oh my goodness...

It's like having our own gallery...

Unbelievable...

Will try and do it some kind of justice... Truly amazing..

[Hubble Bubble]

The print...

The grand opening (my wife's from Bradford, excuse the excitement at the early streetscape - also, we hadn't discovered the cotton gloves at this point)



In the landscapes area:



Earlier LA based work



Pool stuff:



Hope this has given you a taste of it. Too much to take in. Bring a few beers and you can come see it

[pressman]

Love it! Does the book come complete with white gloves?!

The quality of the book looks superb.

Have you built the stand yet?

It must be wonderful to have a wife that shares your passion.

Thank you for sharing! Wish I had pulled the trigger.

With or without the print it's a beautiful thing. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing some prints framed and on the wall.

[chads007]

Not entirely unrelated, but if anyone has a spare 'a bigger picture' book from 2012 & wanting to sell,let me know, missed a few on eBay at £75-100. Thanks

[DrWhite]

I went with a light grey frame, (was a decision between this & white) - with white spacer, very pleased with the results

[greedy21]

This book looks to be terrific along with the prints. Viewed a painting by Hockney for the first time in person this afternoon, was quite a beautiful piece.

Bizarre! That's exactly how I planned on getting mine done. Who did you use? Looks spot on.

How is it possible for The Book to weigh more than The Man ?
