Alexander Liberman

Private Collection, New York

This work is in good condition overall. There is some surface soiling evident, and wear around the turning edges. The inconsistencies in the surface and evidence of air bubbles are inherent to the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is some pigment separation and a few areas of minor associated losses. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few points that fluoresce, that may be evidence of inpainting. Framed.
