I think Hockney has been bad for most of his career tbh.

I mean, I actually agree with one of the replies to that tweet – there are numerous talented stained glass artists in Britain they could have used. Hockney has never done one in his life before, and it shows.

Ha.
My god, it's grim that that it isn't even one of his good paintings that broke the record.

£2.6mil is a steal. The Splash is so iconic it'll go for 3-4 times that in a decades time (if it comes up for auction again).

I don't know much of Hockney's work, nor am I yearning to, but the newly restored 1974 semidoc/fiction film A Bigger Splash is worth seeing when it comes round.

maybe his agent has told him his work is getting too expensive for most collectors in recent years and he needs takes to take drastic action to diminish his rep somewhat!

Finally some publicity for Ed Sheering

fair play to hockney, he's done a bang-up job of capturing sheeran's essential punchability

Ed Sheeran should get his trainered feet off the furniture imo, disgusting savage behaviour

He's really veering into edgy terrain here.
