This superb poster, showing one of David Hockney's designs for The Rake's Progress, was created in 1981 for an exhibition of costume drawings and set designs at The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. David's 1975 designs for The Rake's Progress became some of the most important theatre design of the twentieth century - totally thrilling and immersive. This poster, full of cross hatching, playfulness and cleverness, gives you a glimpse of the magic the artist created on stage. The condition of these posters is excellent apart from some small indentations across the top edge which you can see being pointed out in the photographs below. These are barely noticeable and do not detract from the beauty of the poster. Approximate dimensions: 96.5cm x 76.2 cm We have a number of beautiful posters relating to David's work for the opera; please search 'opera' to see them all. This is an authorised David Hockney poster. It's an archive / vintage poster, printed in 1981, now collectible and in short supply. Our stock of it is sold as new. Given its age the condition is very, very good and the only defect is the indentations pointed out in the photographs and explained above. Please hang away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
