Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, most noticeably along the left and right edges. The sheet is affixed to the matte by 4 photo corners. The tip of the lower right corner of the sheet displays signs of light wear. There is a small unobtrusive accretion near the top edge of the sheet approximately 6 inches from the left edge, which is not on the actual image and only visible under close inspection outside of the matte. Framed under glass.

Catalogue Note
“We’re all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don’t spend any time, or think they don’t, on preparing themselves for the world out there – I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.” Cindy Sherman
