David Hockney’s funeral takes place privately with a small number of attendees, in line with the British artist’s final wishes. Multiple outlets report that the ceremony is low-key and attended by only two people. BBC Entertainment states that Hockney dies earlier this month at his home in London, and that he requested only his partner and great-nephew attend. The Guardian likewise reports that just two people are present at the private funeral, describing the attendees as Hockney’s partner, Jean-Pierre Gonçalves de Lima, and his great-nephew, Richard Hockney, a photographer who works as an assistant and has also modelled for him. Both individuals are identified as trustees of the David Hockney Foundation, which the artist establishes in 2008. Other reports, including Metro and Yahoo UK News, echo that the funeral has already taken place and that only two mourners attend, without additional details. Some sources also indicate memorial services are planned in locations connected to places he lived, though specifics are not consistently provided across the articles.
