$250.00

Combined shipping offered on multiple purchases. Offered is an original thermal fax dated March 16, 1989 and sent from "DH IN THE HILLS" (David Hockney's home and studio in the Hollywood Hills) to the David Hockney office on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. Measuring 14-1/8" by 8-1/2", the fax shows a delightful drawing by Boston artist, and good friend of David Hockney, Bing McGilvray of David Hockney ("AS FRAGONARD") drawing a portrait of Butch Kirby ("BUTCHY AS HAMLET"), who lived at the Hollywood Hills home at the time, while David Hockney's dogs (unnamed in the drawing, although Stanley and Boodgie) barking merrily at their feet. The thin thermal fax paper is lightly crinkled. Provenance: I purchased this fax, along with several others, at a garage sale in West Hollywood in 1991 given by a young man who then worked at Data-Boy, now a long-defunct gay male bar publication, with its office located next to David Hockney's office on Santa Monica Boulevard and who had, on a few occasions, gone through their trash bin and removed several items of paper ephemera such as this one.
