To my eye B was the best of the images, I found the Pink/purple in A a little jarring. Well done to those who scored them, They are very nice things indeed.

The book is going to be fantastic, and congrats to those who got one of the A and B prints, they are both great. Some examples of his work for those who want to get an idea of what will be in the book:

I keep coming back to this, print 1 and 2 have gone, but i can get 3 or 4 (don't know which i prefer)

Its the book thats doing my head in.

I just had a mad thought, the book is big, huge in fact, and comes with a stand as we know. i don't think anyone will display the book on the stand, will they? will you?

anyhow, how about framing it, a big f**koff box frame with 2 bits of uv glass that slide like an old 60's kitchen cupboard.

That way you can hang it on your wall and dependent on your mood, change the image (turn the page)

Its really stupid yes?

That book looks too big, even when I put my Hockney glasses on

It's a Taschen Sumo. The clue is in the name.

[I Woke in Relief]

The stand would be in the box too, right? Can't wait to see some pics of it unboxed and in situ for scale.

VINCENT- And you know what they call a big book with a print in Paris?

JULES- They don't call it a big book with a print?

VINCENT- No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the f**k a big book is.

JULES- What'd they call it?

VINCENT- They call it a gros livre with impression.

Mr. White: [snatches Joe's Hockney book] Give me this fucking thing.

Joe: What do you think you're doing? Give me back my book!

Mr. White: I'm sick of fucking hearing it Joe, I'll give it back to you when we leave.

Joe: What do you mean, give it to me when we leave, give it back now.

Mr. White: For the past fifteen minutes, you've been droning on about names. Toby. Toby?

[flips pages on a Marc Newson bookstand]

Mr. White: Toby? Toby Wong. Toby Wong? Toby Wong. Toby Chung? Fucking Charlie Chan. I got Madonna's big dick coming out of my left ear, and Toby the Jap... I don't know what - comin' out of my right.

A good watch with the volume down.

[yorkie]

So.... update for people to ensure they knowingly decide to / not to participate.

Edition A (1-250) sold out
Edition B (251 - 500) sold out
Edition C (501 - 750) available (about 100 left according to a friend
Edition D (751 - 1000) few left (less than 25)

Apparently the books are selling well too!

U personally prefer D over C and actually went for B over all of them!

Thanks for the update! The story behind his iPhone and iPad drawings is interesting. Some background here:

www.macleans.ca/culture/imagine-rembrandt-with-an-ipad/

This part was great:

Only when The New Yorker asked Hockney to create iPhone/iPad art for its covers, including its inaugural tablet issue last October, did he feel his output as an iArtist was “very, very good.” As he explains, “Skill is practice.” Today, Hockney uses the device so often (creating works in anywhere from a few minutes to three or four a day) that now his Savile Row-tailored suits are made with an extra-large breast pocket to hold it.
