Joan Mitchell

Acquired by the previous owner directly from the artist

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light handling to the sheets and wear at the corners. Additionally, there are artist's pinholes at the corners of the sheets. All smudges are presumably inherent to the artist's intent and working method. Each sheet is hinged verso to the matte with archival tape at intervals along the edges. Framed under glass.
