Note du spécialiste

The title of the present work refers to the graphic studio belonging to Hockney's old friend Ken Tyler who he visited when he went to New York in 1978. Hockney did a number of sketches of Gregory Evans, his assistant and lover at the time, in Tyler's swimming pool, which he subsequently worked into pressed colour paper pulp pictures.
