Collection of Harold Hart, New York (acquired directly from the artist)
Acquired from the above by the present owner

This work is in very good conditions overall. There is evidence of very light wear along the edges, with a few minor and unobtrusive pinpoint spots of potential loss obscured by the frame. The colors are bright and fresh. Under very close inspection, very faint hairline cracks are visible in the orange of the left figure’s jacket, in the blue between the two figures and in the green of the right figure’s jacket and there is a ¼-inch white potential frame rub in the upper right corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a vertical ¾-inch vertical line at the lower right edge fluoresces. Framed.
