Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The surface is bright, fresh and clean. The edges are deckled and there are artist pinholes at the top two corners. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is very slight yellowing to the edges of the sheet, visible under close inspection. 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.*
