Printed by Shirley Clement at The Print Shop, Amsterdam and published by Petersburg Press.. Referenced in Tokyo, 117 and Scottish Arts Council, 125, plate size: 680mm x 535mm. Mo with 5 Leaves in the Tate Gallery.
In very good condition with full margins and deckled sheet edges, the very occasional tiny, light mark in the margins, and very faint, barely noticeable even discolouration to the paper. An exceptionally large and beautiful portrait of Mo, Hockney's frequent sitter, giving maximum opportunity to demonstrate the artist's incredible quality of line.
David Hockney met Mo McDermott while studying at the Royal College of Art in London in 1961. Mo, who was a sculptor, quickly became Hockney's model and latterly his assistant.
