Vintage David Hockney Poster Miami New World Festival of Arts 1982 palm trees

1982

About the Item

This vintage David Hockney poster features whimsical imagery and rich, bright color. Palm trees, boats in the ocean, a cafe, and a bodega with an elaborate iron-wrought balcony sit atop a crosshatched orange ground. In 1980, Miami hosted what the New York Times called "one of the world's more ambitious, more expensive and surely one of the riskiest arts festivals of all time." The New World Festival for the Arts ran for three weeks, from June 4 to 26, and put on 200 live performances of contemporary drama, opera, music and dance. Featured on the poster for the Festival is David Hockney's 1980 crayon drawing "Detail from the Zanzibar with Postcards and Kiosk," which pictured one of his set designs for the Poulenc opera "Les Mamelles de Tiresias". At the bottom of the poster, black text printed in a serif font reads: The New World Festival of the Arts, Musical Theatre, Film, Ballet, Dance, Music, Drama, Opera, Painting, Design, Sculpture, Greater Miami and the Beaches June 1982. This vintage poster was designed by the artist in our studio and comes directly from our Petersburg Press archive. It is not pre-owned. Catalogue reference: Hockney Posters by Brian Baggott: No. 80; Off the Wall: Hockney Posters No. 106.

About the artist: Wai Ming, was born in Canton, South China on November 11, 1938, the son of a school master with nine children. Extremely poor as a child, he was raised in Hong Kong enduring many hardships amidst a chaotic environment of war and refugee settlements. Wai Ming's love for art flourished and he developed his drawing techniques without any art education, just painting what he saw. In the 1960s, Ming found representation in Hong Kong and also took the unusual step of opening his own gallery to display his work in. His primary interest being to capture images of life in fishing villages, or 'fish-folk', who have retained traditional Chinese culture, his work was at home with the sensibilities of many art buyers in Hong Kong. Crossing the ocean in his mid-30s, Wai Ming arrived in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974. There, he experienced initial resistance from galleries and the official art world for a variety of reasons, but was ultimately embraced by dealer Jack Swanson...
