This work is in very good condition overall. The top, bottom and right side 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 and some faint and scattered creases at the sides and corners, the most noticeable of which is along the upper right corner. There are a few light, scattered spot accretions in the upper center of the sheet. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
