Sotheby's New York, 22 April 2006, Sale 8189, Lot 120
Condition
This print, on semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. Visible only in raking light and upon very close examination are tiny deposits of what appears to be original retouching and tiny pin-point-sized indentations. Faint silvering is visible in the dark areas of the image.
This photograph is mounted to slick off-white board, which has been trimmed unevenly. There are four small rust-colored deposits and faint soiling on the mount. There are two small pieces of linen tape, a large area of adhesive residue, and soiling on the reverse.
