SCOOP THE POOL

David Hockney’s Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two

Figures) is one of the world’s most recognisable modern paintings and features the artist’s most famous motifs: two people and a glittering swimming pool. Christie’s New York will offer this iconic canvas at its Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale on 15th Nov. With an estimate in the region of $80m, it’s predicted that it will become the most valuable work of art by a living artist ever sold at auction. christies.com
