      David Hockney

      David Hockney (b. 1937) is one of the most well-known and celebrated artists of the

      and more recently digitally, by creating print series on iPads. His works show semi-

      changing of seasons.

      Hockney has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Royal
      Academy of Arts in London, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, among many
      other institutions. On the secondary market, his work has sold for more than $90
