The exhibition also championed the work of his friend David Hockney, and Bridget Riley and Patrick Caulfield, among others. Although he was respected in the 1960s art scene, he did not follow dominant artworld trends, choosing conventional genres including portraiture and travel landscapes. Prockor, who was gay, mostly painted men.
