DAVID HOCKNEY RA  
A Bounce for Bradford, exhibited at the Royal Academy 1987 ( the print comes with a COA & A photograph showing it on display ) 
It was printed on newsprint in 1986  
The President of the RA Sir Roger de Gray gave Hockney a lecture on how to be a sucessful artist after Hockney only sold one print at £10,000- ( Sir ROger's 100 x 100 cm paintings ! were £3-£5000.  
So Hockney was elected to the RA as a member - which gave him the right to put in 6 pictures. 
So he put in this print, as an edition of 10,000 at 18p - it sold out in 2 minutes !! 
It was Davids way of giving SIR Roger 2 fingers. 
You can buy Sir Rogers paintings - the Presidents paintings for just a few hundred today - The most expensive Hockney is £78 MILLION

This print has been featured in several books on/by Hockney.  It has been exhibited in numerous museums
