Boston, Institute of Contemporary Art, Art & Dance, November 1982 – January 1983

This work is in good condition overall. There are artist’s pinholes in the top two corners of each drawn rectangle and in the center of each rectangle’s bottom edge. All four edges of the sheet are unevenly cut, which is inherent to the artist’s working method. There are minor ink accretions and graphite smudges scattered across the sheet, which is also inherent to the artist’s working method. There is evidence of matte burn along all four edges. This work is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
