How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.

Immerse yourself in the calming, iconic aesthetic of David Hockney with this high-quality poster print of “Early Morning, Sainte-Maxime – 1969.” Hockney, a leading figure in the British Pop Art movement, masterfully distills a complex coastal scene into its essential components of color and light. This particular work showcases a breathtaking sunrise over the harbor of Sainte-Maxime, employing soft yet vibrant gradients—a signature characteristic of his work from this period.
Vibrant Color Palette and Minimalist Form
The painting is a masterful study in tonal contrast. The upper register features a luminous blend of lavender, soft pink, and peach hues, suggesting a misty, early morning sky.

The structures along the shoreline are simplified into geometric blocks, grounding the ethereal light display while maintaining a clean, abstract, and modern feel. This blend of precise structure and atmospheric color makes the 1969 piece one of Hockney’s most tranquil and recognizable coastal landscapes, highly sought after by collectors and art lovers worldwide.
