Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All four edges are deckled, and there are pinholes in the four corners. There are scattered graphite and media smudges on the sheet, which appear to be by the artist's hand and inherent to the artist's working method. There are two small brown spot accretions at the bottom right of the sheet. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the top and side edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
