Donald Baechler

Kenny Schachter, London
Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in good condition overall. It has not been examined out of the frame as all the edges are visible as it is framed. The sheet is affixed to the mount from verso. There are artist's pinholes in the corners and rippling to the sheet, all of which is inherent to the artist's technique. Similarly, there are thick creases which are likely intentional and part of the collage construction. There are two vertical tears at the center top edge, both of which are approximately 1/2 in. (1.2 cm). There are other minor, scattered tears and small holes, which are similarly part of the original work. Framed under Plexiglas.
