Descriptif du lot

The present work won Hockney a prize from gallery owner Robert Erskine. 'It was amazing!' he writes 'I just got the cheque through the post. I didn't even know the exhibition was on' (David Hockney, David Hockney, London 1976, p. 65). The money helped Hockney to finance his first trip to America in the summer of 1961.
