Mary Boone Gallery, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the artist's frame. There is a minor chip along the right edge of the sheet approximately at the center point, which is only visible under close inspection. There are scattered unobtrusive media accretions across the surface of the work. To the left of the text 'kill' and 'time' there are signs of accretions that form a dripping pattern, which are believed to be inherent to the artist's working method. There is a slight undulation along the top edge of the sheet. The work is framed under Plexiglas in an artist's frame.
