Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The surface is bright, fresh and clean. The edges are deckled and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, which is inherent to the artist's working method. The paint extends past the sides of the sheet in certain spots, resulting in some associated tears to these areas, and the red piece of pigment on the left edge appears slightly unstable. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
