Autour de la Maison, Été is a monumental inkjet print in colours on a single sheet of wove paper, executed in 2019 by David Hockney — one of the most celebrated, prolific, and internationally recognized artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries — signed, dated, and numbered in pencil from the extraordinarily rare edition of just 15, printed and published by the artist himself in Los Angeles, and bearing his copyright blindstamp. Presented rolled and unmounted as issued, in its original cardboard box, this work is among the most physically commanding and historically significant prints in Hockney's entire career — a work of truly monumental ambition, exceptional rarity, and enduring collector importance.

At 800 × 12,000 mm — twelve meters in length — Autour de la Maison, Été is a work of literally panoramic scale, a format that situates it firmly within the grand tradition of the landscape panorama while simultaneously announcing Hockney's radical and characteristically inventive engagement with the possibilities of the digital inkjet medium. The work belongs to Hockney's celebrated series of monumental digital paintings of the Yorkshire landscape and his California surroundings — a body of work executed on iPad and iPhone and subsequently produced as large-format inkjet prints that has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Centre Pompidou, and major institutions across the world, attracting unprecedented public attention and critical acclaim. In Autour de la Maison, Été — Around the House, Summer — Hockney deploys the twelve-meter format to construct an immersive, panoramic vision of the summer landscape surrounding his home, combining the chromatic exuberance and gestural freedom of his digital drawing practice with the spatial ambition and compositional intelligence of the great landscape tradition in a work of extraordinary visual richness, physical impact, and personal warmth.

Printed and published by the artist himself in Los Angeles — a mark of the complete authorial control and personal investment that Hockney brings to the production of his most ambitious print editions — and bearing his copyright blindstamp, this impression carries a provenance of the highest authenticity and significance. From the edition of just 15 — one of the most tightly controlled edition sizes in Hockney's entire printed output, entirely consistent with the monumental scale and exceptional production demands of a work of this size — each numbered impression represents an acquisition of the rarest and most historically significant kind.

The work is in excellent condition, rolled and unmounted as issued, in its original cardboard box.
