 Guardian | Swinging again
Around the walls, on which original Hockney drawings jostle cheek by jowl with old postcards and family snapshots, are three pictures of Marilyn Monroe: one on an old birthday card tucked into the frame of the overmantel mirror; one propped against the bookshelves; another among a pile of treasures on the coffee table.
During her marriage to Clark, Birtwell was at the centre of the swinging 60s party scene; through Clark, who descended into drug addiction and was killed by a gay lover in 1996, she has certainly seen plenty that could have soured her.
It was a heady era, when the prints she drew were transformed by Clark into clothes worn by, among others, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Marianne Faithfull, Bianca Jagger and Talitha Getty.
