Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes and staple holes along the sides and the edges are irregularly cut, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. The paper has a slight undulation and faint creases along the sides, resulting in some minor and unobtrusive tears. The bottom left corner has discolored slightly. There a small localized area of spot accretions toward the left side of the red rays. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*

Catalogue Note
"I consider myself a perfect product of the space age, not only because I was born in the year that the first man was launched into space, but also because I grew up with Walt Disney cartoons." - Keith Haring
