The funeral of British artist David Hockney has taken place in private with just his partner Jean-Pierre Goncalves de Lima and great-nephew Richard in attendance, his publicist has confirmed.
A number of memorial services for the artist will take place from next year after Hockney, best known for works such as "The Splash," "A Bigger Splash," and "Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures)," died peacefully at his home aged 88 on June 11.
His publicist Erica Bolton said: "We have been overwhelmed by your tributes which have meant so much to us and we wanted to thank you.
"As we have already received so many inquiries about David Hockney's funeral arrangements and memorials, we would like to clarify that it was David's clear wish that his funeral should be attended only by his partner, JP, and his great-nephew Richard; and that their privacy would be respected.
