David Hockney’s funeral takes place privately in London, according to multiple outlets. The artist, who dies at his home in London earlier this month, has a low-key service that reflects his wishes for a small attendance. BBC reports that Hockney requested that only his partner and his great-nephew attend.
Other coverage also emphasizes the modest nature of the ceremony, describing it as private and not widely attended. The reporting aligns on the central details: Hockney’s death in London earlier in the month and the decision to hold a funeral with only two mourners. Several outlets additionally note the broader response from the art world, including tributes and ongoing recognition of Hockney’s influence, but these references are presented as background rather than part of the funeral itself.
Overall, the sources present a consistent account of a private, limited-attendance funeral following Hockney’s death at his London home.
