David Hockney's New Yorker Cover
« on: December 15, 2020, 11:23:19 am »

David Hockney, who held the record for the highest amount paid at auction for a living artist (until a Koons ballon animal surpassed it), is doing doodles on his iPad these days.  Reaction is mixed

To paraphrase Winston Churchill: "My! There is a cover!"

I'll do a New Yorker Magazine cover for only $3,000,000.

People are often a little churlish when artists cash in. Me, I'm forever in favour of price inflation in the arts. We need more of it. If "name-brand" CEOs can drive companies into the ground while being paid millions in bonuses alone, I don't see what's wrong with an artist pulling in a few thousand here and there.
