Artist David Hockney Dies Aged 88 | BBC News

Jun 12, 2026 | David Hockney has died at the age of 88, his publicist said.

The British artist is one of the most influential of the modern era and was one of the leaders of the 1960s pop art movement.

In 2018, one of his swimming pool paintings sold for nearly £70 million at auction - a record for a living artist.

David Hockney, le peintre qui a mis l’art contemporain en couleurs, est mort à l’âge de 88 ans

LE FIGARO : Le peintre des piscines californiennes et des sous-bois du Yorkshire avait choisi de s’installer dans le calme normand en 2019. Il est mort jeudi 11 juin à l’âge de 88 ans chez lui à Londres.

Ce tout jeune homme à la cravate jaune, à l'écharpe rouge, au blazer turquoise, à la frange épaisse et brune, aux grosses lunettes qui s'ouvrent sur des yeux directs aux cils rougis, c'est David Hockney par lui-même en 1954, à 17 ans. Ce fascinant collage sur papier journal, qui ouvrait la rétrospective du grand peintre anglais au Centre Pompidou en 2017, est aujourd'hui au Musée de Bradford. C'est dans cette ville industrielle de l'ouest du Yorkshire qu'est né David Hockney, le quatrième d'une fratrie rapprochée de cinq enfants, dans une famille modeste. Peintre chéri des Anglais qui aiment sa vitalité, sa fraîcheur, sa palette éclatante, sa passion pour la nature bien verte et les bois en toutes saisons, David Hockney est mort jeudi 11 juin à l’âge de 88 ans chez lui à Londres.

Son père, Kenneth Hockney, aide-comptable, militant antitabac, est un homme introverti et plein de fantaisie, assez excentrique pour peindre des couchers de soleil sur les portes de la maison familiale vers 1950. Le tout jeune David souligne l'élégance neutre et surtout le « body langage » de son père, ses mains qui se tordent, dans un portrait en demi-teintes, le premier tableau qu'il vend (10 livres), à 20 ans, lors de l'exposition collective «Yorkshire Artists Exhibition », en 1957, à la Leeds Art Gallery. Il lui tenait à cœur puisque aujourd'hui il est dans The David Hockney Foundation. » | Par Valérie Duponchelle | vendredi 12 juin 2026

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I : Also Known as 'The Lady in Gold' or 'The Woman in Gold'

A portrait by Gustav Klimt, completed between 1903 and 1907. Adele Bloch-Bauer died in 1925. The painting was stolen by the Nazis in Vienna after the Anschluss (also Anschluß) (Nazi Germany’s annexation of Austria) in March 1938. This portrait is the one used in the film, Woman in Gold. The film is about Maria Altman’s fight to get the painting returned to her family after it had been misappropriated by the Nazis after the Anschluss. The movie is excellent and well worth watching.

Many thanks to The Art Diva on Pinterest for this delightful image.
