The funeral of British artist David Hockney was held privately with only his partner and great-nephew in attendance, his publicist confirmed. Hockney, whose influential career encompassed vibrant portrayals of landscapes ranging from the swimming pools of Los Angeles to the countryside of Yorkshire, passed away on June 11 at the age of 88.

According to publicist Erica Bolton, the service adhered strictly to Hockney’s wishes. “David’s clear wish was that his funeral be attended only by his partner, JP [Jean-Pierre Goncalves de Lima], and his great-nephew Richard, with their privacy respected,” Bolton said. She also noted that the funeral has already taken place.

Plans are underway for several public memorials to honor the artist’s life and work, beginning with an event scheduled for spring 2027 in London. Additional memorial services will be held at later dates in Yorkshire, Paris, and Los Angeles, cities significant to Hockney’s life and artistic contributions.

Bolton further confirmed that the majority of Hockney’s artwork will be donated to foundations and public institutions globally, ensuring the continuation and accessibility of his artistic legacy.
