David Hockney Xerox prints

For a period of time, David Hockney created collages using Xerox machines.

In 1986 Hockney produced Home Made Prints,a series created entirely with the Xerox copier. As the title of the series would suggest, the Xerox machine allowed Hockney to create his prints in the comfort of his own home, rather than the often constrictive environment of the professional printing studio. Many of the prints in this series, like Living Room and Terrace, capture the interiors of Hockney’s house on the outskirts of LA. This invigorated focus on his own home in Home Made Prints reveals the more relaxed approach to printmaking that the Xerox copier afforded Hockney.
