Condition
This work is in excellent condition. The painting has a glossy varnish which is typical of the artist's work and is inherent. There is a small area at the top of the canvas where the under-paint is slightly rough which appears inherent to the medium. This work has not been examined under UV light. Otherwise, there are no condition problems with this work. Unframed.

Catalogue Note
"Peyton was transfixed by these f*#^ed-up, androgynous, needs-a-mom boys, whether the clan of the junkie damned (Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, and Elvis Presley), or the young princelings and faunlets of rock (Beck, Liam Gallagher, and Jarvis Cocker). But she painted them with a fluid, sexy touch that negated issues of illustration or kitsch, and helped melt the ice that had formed around painting in the early 1990s." - Jerry Saltz ("Red Lipped Royals", artnet magazine, 4/16/99)
