David Hockney is the name of a British painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. He is regarded as one of the 20th century’s most important British artists.
On November 15, 2018, Christie’s auction house in New York City sold his 1972 piece Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) for $90 million (£70 million), making it the most expensive work by a living artist ever sold at auction.
David Hockney, 82, revealed the brand-new work on Instagram on Thursday via Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. The drawing, which he created on his iPad, shows a cluster of vibrant yellow daffodils blooming in the middle of a green field with a distant grey and desolate environment.
