David Hockney Park Hotel Munich 1972 Striped Towel Art Print

A single striped towel hanging on a hotel door became a vessel for light and shadow in 1972. Within the frame of This print, one finds a quiet, observational moment from the artist’s stay in Germany, utilizing delicate pencil and crayon textures.
