The present work carries the dedication ‘pour mon ami Jeff avec beaucoup d'amour’, believed to be referring to David Hockney’s friend Jeff Goodman. Goodman was a young artist from New York when they met, Hockney remembered, ‘he was very American, with crew-cut hair. I didn’t really think of him as lover. We were just sexy friends’ (D. Hockney quoted in C. S. Sykes, David Hockney: The Biography 1937-1975, London, 2011, p. 113). After Hockney finished his final term at the Royal College they visited Italy together, staying with Mark Berger and Ferrill Amacker in Florence and then driving to Viareggio before travelling to Munich and Berlin. In 1963 Hockney stayed with Goodman in New York; visiting The Stable Gallery they met Andy Warhol, who later took them to see Dennis Hopper filming an episode of Naked City, immortalised in a photograph taken by Hopper of Hockney and Goodman with Warhol and Henry Geldzahler.
