Endlessly versatile, he has produced acrylic paintings, photo collages, full-scale opera set designs, and digital works created on iPads.

Hockney has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, among many other institutions. On the secondary market, his work has sold for more than $90 million.

## About David Hockney

Born in Bradford, England in 1937, David Hockney studied at the Royal College of Art, where he quickly established himself as part of the British Pop Art movement. His early works drew on bold colour palettes and simplified forms, influenced by fauvism and modernism, yet always with his distinct voice.

Hockney became internationally known in the 1960s for his sun-drenched California pool paintings, which captured a sense of leisure, light, and modern life. Over the decades, he has remained a restless innovator, experimenting with photography, printmaking, stage design, and digital technologies. Notable exhibitions include his retrospectives at the Tate Britain, Centre Pompidou, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, each solidifying his reputation as one of the most important artists of our time.
