Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The edges of the sheet have been cut irregularly by the artist and there is a small tear at the right edge approximately 4 inches from the bottom. There is a slight undulation to the sheet and scattered graphite smudge marks, both inherent to the artist's working method. There are some small areas of staining in the lower right and upper left quadrants and there is a green and white paint accretion, presumably from the time of execution, below the artist's signature. There is a light surface abrasion near the lower center edge. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to foamcore. Framed under Plexiglas. This work is accompanied by a registration card issued by the Yayoi Kusama Studio.
