[Hockney, David. (b. 1937)]. Collection of Fax Drawings, Letters, Exhibition Announcements and Publications, Gallery Cards, and Other Ephemera.
An interesting small collection of personal faxed letters and drawings, exhibition announcements, gallery cards, exhibition publications, magazines, and photocopies. Various sizes and conditions. 1973-1982. Provenance: Christopher Hanley Scott (1945–2002), partner to Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994); private collection, New York.

Hockney met Henry Geldzahler, a curator at the Metropolitan Museum, at Andy Warhol's New York apartment in the 1960's.  Hockney and Geldzahler became close friends and travel companions, sharing a sense of humor, interests, and many similar life experiences.  Through their friendship, Geldzahler and his partner Christopher became the subjects of numerous works by Hockney. This collection testifies to that relationship and includes a series of personal art faxes sent to them. In one facsimile note, the artist muses about their mutual engagement with the fax medium, writing, "Your fax had more half tones on it than any I have yet received. Here are a few of mine. You will love the machine."

Widely known for his ready embrace of new technology, David Hockney once described the fax machine as “the wonderful machine, the enemy of totalitarianism, the return of handwritten letters.” Hockney first began to experiment with the fax machine in the 1980s, transmitting drawings around the globe to friends and galleries alike. Adapting his drawing technique to the machine’s specificities, Hockney used opaque gray, for instance, to render halftones in the final product. When he was invited to participate in the 1989 São Paulo Biennial, he elected to do so by fax and devised a series of more than 30 such works to be shown.

The collection includes the following:
