Description

  • Joel Sternfeld
  • 'MCLEAN, VIRGINIA, DECEMBER 4, 1978'
  • Dye-transfer print
dye-transfer print, signed, titled, dated, and annotated in ink on the reverse, framed, 1978, printed in 1982 (American Prospects, pl. 30)

Condition

While there is very little perceptible fading at the image periphery of this dye-transfer print, the saturation of the print appears somewhat muted. Upon close examination, a number of sharp, crescent and diagonal creases (most of which are no longer than 3-inches) are visible overall. Most of these creases appear to break the emulsion and a few are visible when viewing the print in its framed presentation. There is wear along the right margin edge. On the reverse of this print, the following is written in ink: 'JS9v'; 'Dye Transfer print'; 'N - McLean, Virginia, December 4, 1978'; 'P - New York, March 1982.'
