Hockney had spent a number of years living in Los Angeles before moving back to his native Yorkshire in the late 1990s.
Following the move back to England, Hockney completed several landscape paintings of Yorkshire scenery, one of which was Garrowby Hill.
[1] Hockney completed this painting in Yorkshire due to him being there when his mother was unwell.
[2] A second print of the Garrowby Hill painting was created in 2010, which is often confused for the 1998 original.
[citation needed] It was displayed as part of Hockney's 2017 retrospective at Tate Britain in London.
