Condition
This work is in very good condition overall .The edges of the canvas are taped. There is very minor evidence of handling along the edges with a pinpoint spot of loss at the upper right corner. Under very close inspection, a ¼-inch graphite mark is visible in the white flower area. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a one inch area at the top of the glass fluoresces brightly but does appear to be the result of restoration. Unframed.
Please note that this work is accompanied by a registration card issued by the Yayoi Kusama Studio.
