Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. Some of the black markings have faded, particularly towards the edges. The work is irregularly cut and there are artist's pinholes along the periphery, which are inherent to the artist's working method. There are flattened creases, extending out of the irregular edges, which is inherent to the medium. There is evidence of minor retouching which is not visible to the naked eye or under Ultraviolet light inspection and has been executed under the direction of the Keith Haring Estate. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
