This work is in very good condition. There are no apparent condition problems with this work. Framed under Plexiglas. Not examined out of the frame. Please note the correct title is Untitled Film Still #63. Cindy Sherman and Metro Pictures will re-print this image for the purchaser because the paper used by the artist at the time of the original printing was of poor quality. Both the artist and Metro Pictures require the work be re-printed on high quality photographic paper and the cost is approximately $2,500 which includes printing by the artist, handling and re-framing. The time frame for this process is approximately 6 weeks. The artist will sign, date 1980 and number 1/3 on the back of the sheet. Please contact the department for further information.
