Note du spécialiste

Inspired by illustrations from a book on the history of card games, Three Kings and a Queen belongs to a series of works begun in the autumn of 1960. In each of these images the letter K indicates that the figure is a king. Here, it's omission on one of the figures designates this king as a 'queen'. Hockney won a prize of £100 for Three Kings and a Queen from the Robert Eskine Gallery which funded his first trip to New York in the summer of 1961.
