Andy Warhol

Susan Sheehan Gallery, New York
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background tends towards a light grey/white in the original work. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the richer and denser yellows, oranges and pinks which stand out in the original work. Condition: The sheet is held within the window mount with plastic and paper tabs that run intermittently along all four edges. There are losses to the paper at all four corners and in places along the top edges. There is a further loss to the centre of the left edge. Visible only when the work is unframed, there is frame staining along all four edges and light vertical creasing towards the centre of the left half of the sheet. Also visible when unframed, there are two vertical tines of tape residue along the right edge, and a further, smaller line towards the lower left corner. There are scattered smudges, media accretions and light creases in places elsewhere.
