Influential artist David Hockney has died at the age of 88, his publicist said.
 
The Bradford-born artist was one of the most influential of the modern era and was one of the leaders of the 1960s pop art movement. 
 
In 2018, one of his swimming pool paintings sold for nearly £70 million at auction - a record for a living artist.
