News about David Hockney

Among the many celebrities under the age of 41, including Dua Lipa and Matt Smith, have been among the hundred thousand house-hunters who have contributed to London's burgeoning mansion market in the last decade. According to estate agents Beauchamp Estates, the average age of people buying 'trophy homes' in the capital has decreased by 12 years in the last ten years to 41. Popular young actors and singers such as Lily James and Harry Styles, as well as Russian oligarchs, Middle Eastern kings, and other international billionaire tycoons are among those who have purchased luxurious homes. Lipa is the owner of a Victorian house in Hampstead, for which she has been granted permission to install an underground swimming pool and a library. Rita Ora of the Masked Singer lives in Primrose Hill, home to grand Victorian terraces and pastel-coloured Regency townhouses worth £7.5 million. And Styles has bought three houses in north London in recent years, including a £2.95 million home when he was just 18.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Whatever happened to Ricky Martin? You may recall that he, a Puerto Rican pop star, had a huge success 25 years ago with the difficultly catchy Livin' La Vida Loca. He was cryogenically frozen at the start of the millennium and has just been arrested to play a vindictive waiter at America's snobbiest spa resort in the hilarious Palm Royale (Apple TV+). The only plausible explanation for Ricky's age-defying features is a suspension animation in liquid nitrogen, but the majority of the cast can be said the same. Kristen Wiig, a 50-year-old comedian, bounces about like a teenager on her way to the social ladder, climbing over walls and windows as the relentlessly upbeat Maxine flies. And Carol Burnett, who is 93, does a good job at 90, and she's playing a billionaire in a coma. Well, everything about Palm Royale seems to be excellent, in fact. It's loosely based on Juliet McDaniel's book Mr & Mrs American Pie, which was set in Palm Beach's super-rich Florida enclave in 1969, drenched in color like a David Hockney painting.

DEN CONFIDENTIAL: As Inigo Philbrick (left) was sentenced to seven years in jail for executing a £80 million art swindle, his fiancee, Victoria Baker-Harber (left, right) vowed to stand by him. Victoria hasn't had to wait too long, as the art dealer has now been released from jail in New York after serving less than two years. Gaia-Grace, their daughter who has never met, can now be welcomed into their family. One of her friends tells me, 'It's a surprise' that he's out so quickly.' Everybody expected him to be in jail for much longer.' Philbrick was released last month by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons. Jay Jopling, Philbrick, 36, a leading art dealer in Hackney, East London, bought and sold paintings by artists, including David Hockney. He wore a £48,000 watch, £5,000 boots, a belt with a diamond embedded in the pin, and he drank £5,000 bottles of wine.

He is decked out in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet, No. 1. 1 Tailcoat. The Garter Star, Thistle Star, Bath Sovereign's badge, Order of Merit, and Royal Victorian Chain are among the picture's decorations.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: He gained a reputation as the man with the golden gavel, as well as a life as an auctioneer, orchestrating the auction of 79 of Princess Diana's dresses, which went for $3.25 million (£2.6 million) in New York, just two months before her death. But Lord Hindlip, 83, who was widely praised for his zeal and tenacity during his tenure as Christie's chairman, has now become well-known as the father of vivacious Location, Location, and Location host Kirstie Allsopp. I can confirm that he is being sued for more than £321,000 in a case destined for the High Court.

Pauline Boty never rose to the fame of contemporaries such as David Hockney and Peter Blake due to her death from cancer at the age of 28 in 1966. Now, a new exhibition is bringing the radical artist's life and work to the public eye.

Celia Birwell, artist David Hackney's 70s muse, has a lot in common with her fashionista granddaughters Tilly and Lola, according to Claudia Joseph. When entering the David Hockney: Drawing From Life exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery, you are surrounded by photographs of Hockney's close friend, textile designer Celia Birtwell. The artist's muse posed for him more than a century ago, now 82. Two drawings stand out in the exhibit's final room: granddaughters, 21-year-old Tilly Clark, and younger sister Lola, 18.

He is widely regarded as one of the world's best living artists. And David Hockney, 86, has revealed his new artwork, which is on the side of London's Battersea Power Station, no less. The spectacular video was created on an iPad Pro and converts Battersea's iconic 328ft chimneys into festive Christmas trees. A fantastic video shared exclusively with MailOnline shows Hockney sketching his proposal using an Apple Pencil. 'Battersea Power Station is such a stunning building, I wanted to decorate it in a way that would bring joy and hope to Londoners,' Hockney said.

TOM UTLEY: As I approached 70 this week, I've been worrying a lot about death this week, the threescore years and ten named in Psalm 90 as the length of time we can expect to live on this planet. According to a recent study by the Christian think tank, I'm now one of four of us who believe we worry about our own death at least once a week. I should point out at least once that many people lived much longer than 90 years since Psalm 90 was published, well over 3,000 years before the dramatic increase in life expectancy since my own birth in 1953. The Psalmist himself admitted to so much in the second part of his famous verse 10 that he wrote, although he struck a bleak note on death's inevitability, if it would appear. The days of our years are threescore years and ten years, and though they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and despair; for these years, they are soon cut off and we fly away.'

Feeding Creativity is McCartney's third book of vegetarian recipes; she and her fashion designer sister Stella co-created one; Vegetarianism used to be the favored cause of cranks and sandal-wearing lefties, but it has long since gone mainstream, and veggie cookbooks have topped the bestseller list.

ROGER LEWIS: If Dry January wasn't depressing enough for thirsty chaps like myself, there's another one coming: Sober October. All correct, £789,000, at last count, has already been raised for Macmillan Cancer Support by members of the public, who have promised to avoid booze until Halloween - an abstinence that is helping to raise vital funds for people living with cancer.' So there's unquestionable merit in all these people spending a month on the water wagon.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Why didn't the Princess of Wales accompany William on his trip to New York? Kate, a clumsy foreign traveller, has been out of the country for just two weeks this year, a short trip to watch England play Argentina in Marseille and the Crown Prince of Jordan's wedding. There had been high hopes at the FCO that Kate would not only visit more overseas but also bring the children. George has been to Australia and New Zealand, and Charlotte has been accompanied in Canada, Poland, and Germany, but it appears that education and routine are now more important than providing the FCO with some 'panda diplomacy.'

Mica Paris has admitted she disliked being a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, describing her experience on the program as "horrible." The soul singer, 54, said she found it too intense and couldn't get to grips with the amount of physical fitness needed for the celebrities. Mica, who was speaking at the Lightroom, London, at a special screening of David Hockney A Bigger Story, said she felt it would be a good way to shed weight.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Where was the trigger warning? After all, supermarkets must now cover tobacco products out of shutters due to the fear of insecure people seeing 20 Bensons. And, as a theatre in London produced a play about Groucho Marx last year, audiences were alerted by email to the danger of seeing an actor with 'a prop cigar.' Nevertheless, viewers of David Hockney: A Celebration (Sky Arts) were confronted with an alert by the spectacle of the world's best living artist chatting, while smoking cigarettes. He was also unrepentant, which was worrying. 'Smoking doesn't matter,' he told Melvyn Bragg. Some people can smoke while others can't.' It's just these bossy people, I think. There are just too many.'

Harry Styles has bought a'masterpiece' portrait of himself from comedian and artist Joe Lycett for £6. After the television presenter, 35, announced a parody of David Hockney's painting for his exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, the pop star, 29, kept in touch. Despite supporters' comments that the artwork was'more like Alan Carr' Harry,' Harry was eager to hang it in his house.

In David Hockney's latest exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, a new portrait of Harry Styles has been unveiled. The singer, 29, traveled to Normandy last May to visit the 86-year-old artist's light-filled studio, where he sat for over two days as the subject. The end, which is now part of Hockney's new collection, David Hockney: Drawing from Life, shows the pop star seated in a brown straw-like chair, sporting a brightly coloured yellow and orange striped cardigan and blue flared jeans.

Mr Motivator, a 70-year-old fitness specialist, met Queen Camilla last month at a charity function in London (pictured right). She had chunky cream heels on; he was wearing canary-yellow Crocs. What is it about these shoes? They're ridiculously uft, whether you're looking for a way to take out the garbage cans or, at a push, marching hastily to the supermarkets on a morning when you've run out of milk. And yet they're everywhere. Every year, more than 100 million pairs are sold; that's nearly 200 per minute. Their success isn't limited to being a useful utility slip-on; they're a design statement, beloved of the A-list and the front row alike. So how did they do it? A blue Croc on the left.

Keir Hardie, the Scottish trade unionist and founder of the Labour Party, was named after Labour's leader, newly elected MP for Selby and Ainsty, Keir Mather (pictured left). Mr Mather's step-father George Tambaros (inset below), nicknamed "Gorgeous George" by colleagues, appeared on Come Dine With Me in 2015. He cooked a leg of lamb with Cypriot potatoes as his starter of 'egg drop soup', a quail egg cracked into a hot broth. Mr Tambaros owned The Omelette, a restaurant in Hull, before.

On Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, the Arctic Monkeys took the much awaited 90-minute headlining slot, but fans were left dissatisfied by the performance. The rock band appeared on stage just hours after receiving a surprise set from The Foo Fighters, who put on an amazing show for the festival's hour-long'secret' slot.

The Foo Fighters will appear on Glastonbury's main stage on tomorrow night, according to Mail Online. The rock idols will appear on The Pyramid at 6:10 p.m., a slot that has since been dubbed The Churnups, which fans previously believed referred to Britpop band Pulp.

His latest work is made up of 100,000 written marks mainly consisting of the letters M, O, N, and A to spell out the painting's name. He consciously layers the markings to produce this detailed recreation of this famous portrait by using letters, figures, and punctuation symbols.
