Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. All nails are stable and secure. The white canvas that is laid over the board is irregularly torn and ripped in spots, sometimes curling upwards to expose the underlying wood board. This appears intended by the artist and inherent to the artist's working method. The white canvas exhibits some wear and handling that has darkened the white canvas. Close inspection reveals some spot accretions. Unframed. Please note the auction begins at 9:00 am on November 12th.
