Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There are scattered media accretions on the left lateral edge, which appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. The overall color of the watercolor seems to have faded over time in the red, yellow, brown and orange painted portions of the star. 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.*
