Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling towards the edges, resulting in some scattered abrasions to the extreme edges and corners. There is an accretion at the top center of the canvas and some scattered media accretions of the pink pigment. The graphite lines appear to be by the artistÂ’s hand and inherent to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas. Not examined out of the frame. Please note this work is accompanied by a registration card issued by the Yayoi Kusama Studio. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
