Provenance

MAI 36 Galerie, Zurich

Condition

This chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain vibrant and saturated, with no apparent fading. As is frequently seen in other comparable works that are front-mounted to acrylic, the following are visible on the acrylic surface when examining the work very closely in high raking light: superficial surface scratches, including a 3-inch scratch in the lower left quadrant and a 5-inch scratch in the lower right quadrant; swipes; and dust. There are some dried translucent liquid deposits also visible in raking light. None of this detracts in any way from the overall impressive quality of this large work.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
