A rarely seen Gwen John portrait will go on display in Edinburgh this summer before a global tour in celebration of her 150th birthday.

David Hockney has died at 88, ending a seven-decade career that reshaped portraiture, landscape and pop art. Born in Bradford, he moved to London and then Los Angeles, where his pool paintings defined a generation. He continued creating across formats, including iPad drawings, until late in life.
