David Hockney’s name splashed across the art news in November 2018, when his 1972 painting sold at public auction for $90.3 million, surpassing the previous auction record for a living artist held by Jeff Koons (for $58.4 million). The painting, “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)”, first sold in 1972 for $20,000. This exhibit, consisting of prints created in various media, contained images for which the artist is known: interior scenes, portraits of friends, landscapes, and California pools.
