As one of the greatest modern artists David Hockney attracts huge attention among collectors – and his death last month at the age of 88 only increased his appeal.

It has also sparked renewed interest in his distinctive paintings as an investment opportunity.

Dealers are offering art enthusiasts the chance to buy prints of some of his works, which could be a more affordable way in to the market than original paintings which sell for tens of millions.

However, experts warn those looking to make a fast profit to be wary.
