Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The bottom edge has been cut irregularly by the artist. There are artist pinholes in all four corners and at the center of the top and bottom edges. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of the sheet have discolored slightly and there is an overall light discoloration to the sheet from age. There is evidence of light wear to the edges of the sheet and there is a very minor partial tear at the top approximately 3.5 inches from the left edge. Upon close inspection, there are scattered light surface abrasions and media accretions presumably from the time of execution. The sheet is hinged to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
Please note the auction begins at 9:00 am on November 12th.
