Marian Goodman Gallery, New York
Christie's, New York, 6 May 1992, Lot 240
Acquired from the above sale by the present owner

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. There is undulations to the sheet, likely inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Upon close inspection, there is evidence of scattered surface accretions and faint creases throughout, most likely from the time of execution. There is a minor tear approximately 4.5 in. from the right edge and 22 in. from the bottom edge. In the upper left corner, a thin layer of the paper fiber has peeled off, possibly from the time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.
