David Hockney: A Bigger Book (Taschen £1,750) is available in a limited edition run of 10,000 signed copies and comes with a Marc Newson book stand. Also there's an edition which includes a print for £3,500. More details at taschen.com

Thanks for the head's up! I was quoted $5000 which is about 3750 GBP. Not sure if they're offering different pricing to different regions...Is shipping included in the 3500 GBP price?

Can you link me, Ruggs? I can't see it on the site

I really like them all. The light pink has nearly sold out although I think the blue is probably my favourite.
They are taking 50% deposits.

[rhubarb]

Where are they taking 50% deposits? I can only see full amounts.

Thanks

I have rad this, and looked at the site, and really want the one with the prints

I have emailed tashi

Is that what i have to do?

[Hubble Bubble]

Correct, bren. They will send you a link to a pre release URL for either book or book and your choice of print. Just pay and the deal is done.

Full disclosure: just bought another Hockney

[Winter]

Which?

Stating the obvious, bren... it's only one print per £3.5k, not all. You choose which you want.

[Coach]

I thought b was the strongest print, by some way. Lovely bold colours.

Kindred spirits, Coach.

Yes, to my mind it's a terrific piece. Not very urban, mind.

Wow looks amazing. My wife would kill me for this.

Does that mean that she'll kill you to get it or after you get it?

[rhubarb]

Kill me to get it. Sharpening the knives already. She has just seen the link.

I paid in full, winter.  No mention of 50% deposit.

B for me too, B for battered, which is what I will be when the wife finds out

An edition of 10,000!!!! Holy crap, that print run is as ridiculously oversized as the book. That's relatively large even for a conventional art book. While it's easy to admire something like that I think very few are going to want such a massive object to deal with and store and move etc. Now I do like Hockney's recent work (who doesn't I guess) but I cringe when I se these Taschen releases, they're kind of known for producing gawdy and usually overpriced tat. Although I really don't know what Hockney's prints sell for so maybe this is different?

It's not 10,000 prints.  It's 10.000 books at £1750

The first 1,000 books come with a print (for an extra £1750).  There are four prints so each print is limited to 250.

I'd say that even factoring print size and edition size, it's a favourable price compared to buying primary elsewhere.  Current primary prices begin around $20,000 for larger prints with editions of around 25.  I'd say it's a good way for folk to get an affordable, current, signed Hockney on their walls.  And the images work well, I think.  They represent his current output of nature scenes and contain Hockney's signature line work and colour.

[nobokov]

I think it was priced that way to save Hockney's hand from turning into a mangled signing claw.

These are some beautiful prints though..

apologies just re read.  I see you were referring to the book run.

Yeah, that's quite a few I guess but I don't know so much about books.  I see it as a £3.5k signed Hockney that I really like with a limited edition signed book thrown in

Bloody big book though.

He's a Yorkshireman... his hands are usually kept firmly in his pocket so they're in unusually good nick

[Harveyn]

Love the book and the lilac print in particular but most of all I love the Marc Newson book stand. I did not purchase but I think its a great set at a great price.

[J0NNY]

How much is the shipping?

it's included in the price.

[Winter]

Having given it some thought I think the lilac is the the one for me.

Good man winter.  I like the lilac but it seemed slightly 'unfinished'/abstract in the detail of the petals/flowers for my taste.

They're all good though.

[Winter]

A very tough decision but for the size I just like the simplicity.

The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield have three of Hockney's (much larger) ipad prints up in the gallery at the minute. They look stunning, I'm sure these new editions will be of similar high quality. Would love to pick up one of these..... but way out of my league at the minute.

From the edition of 25, 139.7 x 105.4 cm (huge!). £18k at the time of release apparently (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/art/32602/market-news-david-hockney’s-ipad-drawings.html).
