Catalog note / 解説

David Hockney first visited California in 1964 and visited and worked there from time to time until he decided in 1978 to settle there permanently. In 1965 he worked on <i>A Hollywood Collection</i>, a suite of prints, with master printer Ken Tyler, who ran the printmaking studio Gemini GEL. <i>The Weather Series</i> was the second major suite made at Gemini and in part is inspired by the representation of weather in Japanese prints. Here, however, Hockney returns to a favourite theme of still life with plants or flowers for this image of a potted plant on a sunny table. Materials: Colour lithograph and screenprint on paper
