Gregory (MCA Tokyo 157)
Soft and hard-ground etching printed in colours, 1974, signed and dated in pencil, numbered from the edition of 75, printed by Maurice Payne, Kent Jones and Dany Levy, published by Petersburg Press, London, on Inveresk mould-made paper, with full margins, sheet 910 x 700mm (35 3/4 x 27 1/2in)
The subject is Gregory Evans: a key figure in the British artist"s personal and artistic career, morphing from lover and studio assistant to curator and trusted adviser. Gregory Evans has remained the constant through Hockney"s ever-evolving practice and continual experimentation as a model he has returned to time and time again, appearing in over forty portraits. The etching here - executed in 1974, the year the pair began an intimate relationship - is imbued with a warmth and affinity for the sitter. Works from this period, from 1965 where line drawing consumed Hockney"s artistic output, are highly sought after owing to their technical difficulty and the power they conjure through their simplicity.
