- sheet 1380 by 600 mm 54 1/4 by 23 5/8 in
Etching and aquatint with carborundum printed in colors, 1973, signed in pencil and numbered 23/50, on Arches wove paper, published by Maeght, Paris, the full sheet, printed to the edges, in good condition apart from a few occasional fox marks, soft rolling creases at top and bottom, the sheet corners verso with slight skinning, pale light-stain
Condition
The print is in good condition as catalogued. Fox marks are pale and scattered throughout, visible on both verso and recto. The print has been previously rolled and consequently soft creases appear mostly in the upper and lower ends of the sheet. Light-stain has slightly darkened the paper tone throughout, however previous hinges at top verso have maintained two light rectangular areas. The removal of these hinges at top and bottom has caused slightly skinned areas on the verso.
