Getting familiar with Hockney

An exhibition of works by one of the world's most influential and popular artists today, who holds the record for the highest auction price for a painting by a living artist, is currently on in the capital.

"Do you know anything about David Hockney?" I was once asked by a person when he found out that I had an art-related master's degree.

Actually, my friend was not very interested in the art world, but he thought it was the right name to start a conversation about art.
