David Hockney siblings: Meet Margaret Hockney, Paul Hockney, John Hockney & Philip Hockney

David Hockney (born 1937) was the first British artist to act like a pop star, becoming well-known and glamorous as soon as he earned a gold medal at the Royal College of Art in 1962.

British pop art was first (with Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi in the 1950s) before American pop art, but it was Hockney, a young man dealing with love, sex, and the modern world, who captured the public’s attention in paintings with graffiti-like slogans like “I will love you at 8pm next Wednesday” and the comic pathos of his 1962 piece A Man Stood in Front of His House With Rain Descending. Until Koons sold his Rabbit for more than $91 million at Christie’s on May 15, 2019, Hockney had held this record.

Margaret Hockney, Paul Hockney, John Hockney, and Philip Hockney are David Hockney’s siblings. John Hockney and his brother David resided in an attic bedroom together for 14 years. David, who is now 82, was chosen as the greatest British artist of all time. Unquestionably, he is one of the greatest living musicians, yet his siblings haven’t suffered because of his popularity.
