Multiple Australian outlets recall a remark by British artist David Hockney made at the opening of his exhibition in Australia in 2016. In the lead-up to that show, Hockney said he would keep working “’til I fall over,” indicating he intended to continue painting for as long as he could. The later accounts describe him as following through on that statement, framing his final years as a continuation of his long-running artistic practice rather than a pause or retirement. The articles do not present new, specific details about particular works or dates beyond the reference to the 2016 exhibition opening, but they use that quote to summarize his working approach at the end of his life. Overall, the reporting emphasizes consistency between Hockney’s stated intention and his actions, presenting it as a throughline across his career culminating in ongoing work up to his death. The sources are aligned in attributing the same 2016 quotation and in describing him as remaining committed to painting until the end.
