avid Hockney, born July 9, 1937, is a versatile English artist excelling in painting, drawing, printmaking, stage design, and photography.

A key figure in 1960s pop art, he’s a profound influence on 20th-century British art. With homes in Bridlington, London, and California since 1964, Hockney’s life and work span the globe.

In 2018, “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)” sold for a record-breaking $90 million at Christie’s in NYC, briefly holding the record for the highest auction price for a living artist.
