About this work

David Hockney’s fondness for his dogs, two dachshunds called Stanley and Boodgie, is well documented through his artistic practice. In hundreds of artworks, Hockney lovingly depicts them sitting, sleeping and curled up on their beds. This prolific output documents the complex and emotional relationship that can be forged between humans and their dogs.
