Condition
This work appears in very good condition overall. There is an 1/8 inch colorless surface accretion located 10 inches from the bottom edge and 20 inches from the left edge. There is evidence of a few extremely fine scattered surface abrasions, barely visible under raking light. The photograph exhibits a few soft vertical ripples primarily located in the lower right of the image which presumably occurred when the artist mounted the photograph on the card mount. The image appears to have been overmatted and there is a faint yellowing visible approximately 1/4 inch into the image extending evenly along the 4 lateral edges of the work. This work is cornered archivally into the matte at the four corners and framed under Plexiglas.
