Acquired by the present owner from the above sale

London, Bernard Jacobson Gallery, Robert Rauschenberg 2K+, October - November 2004, p. 31, illustrated in color

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges. There is a minor media accretion at the top of the orange, which appears to have occurred at the time of execution. Along the right upper edge, there is a spot of texture inconsistency to the surface, which appears inherent to the artist’s working method, with an associated minute spot of lifting to the medium. Framed. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
