David Hockney's "Hat on Chair" is a notable dry point etching created in 1998. This artwork exemplifies Hockney's interest in everyday objects, featuring a hat balanced on a chair. The piece was produced in a limited edition of 35 prints, each signed and numbered by the artist.
In the same year, Hockney also created "Panama Hat with a Bow Tie on a Chair," an etching with aquatint and dry point. This work was part of "The Geldzahler Portfolio," a collection published in collaboration with the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS. The present work is a beautiful example of Hockney's fascination with domestic scenes and objects, capturing the simplicity and intimacy of everyday life through his distinctive artistic lens.
His dry point technique adds a rich, hand-drawn texture, making the piece feel lively and personal. The exquisite composition and extremely small edition size makes this work highly sought after and hard to attain.
