TL;DR Summary
David Hockney, the English artist whose shape-shifting, color-saturated work spanned painting, photography, stage design and digital media, died at 88 in London. A defining figure of modern art, he blurred perspective and celebrated impermanence with works from The Splash to Portrait of an Artist (Pool With Two Figures)—which fetched a record $90.3 million in 2018—and later iPad drawings and a Westminster Abbey stained-glass window. His career wove between Britain, California and Yorkshire, and he leaves partner Jean‑Pierre “JP” Gonçalves de Lima and two brothers.
