The autographs include David Hockney, plus the set designer, who has signed the poster in the middle, Jonathan Miller, famous British director who has signed the poster above and to the left of Hockney’s in blue ink (the only signature that is not signed in gold ink), Zubin Mehta, the conductor who has signed the poster above the clasping hands, the seven leading singers (Jeannine Altmeyer who played Isolde, William Johns who played Tristan, Florence Quivar who played Brangane, Roger Roloff who played Kurwenal, Elliot Palay who played Melot, Jonathan Mack who played the Sailor and Sheperd, and Peter Van Derick who played the Helmsman) and 30 others who include members of the chorus, non singing actors, orchestra members, and crew who worked on the play.
Inscription examples include: "very best wishes for a true Wagnerite" / "you're great fun to work with and such a knowledgeable fellow" // "thank you for one of the best times of my life: - and they continue.

DH in Hollywood (David Hockney) Howard Hodgkin colorful abstract painting framed
By Howard Hodgkin
Located in New York, NY
Howard Hodgkin based this print on a trip he took to visit his good friend and fellow Petersburg Press collaborator David Hockney in Los Angeles. The mid-eighties saw new levels of abstraction in Hodgkin’s work, building exuberantly off the ambiguous spaces of his earlier work. The artist used six colors of paint, producing a unique depth and texture to each print in this edition.
Howard Hodgkin was introduced to the etching technique used in DH in Hollywood at Petersburg Press, where he was a long-time collaborator. Soft-ground etching allowed him to work fluidly and spontaneously, giving his prints the characteristic black brushstrokes seen in this print.
