Bruce Nauman

Collection of Pierre Sterckx (acquired directly from the artist)
Acquired from the above by the present owner circa 2005

This work is in very good condition overall. There are 18 artist pinholes along the edges of the sheet, 4 within each corner, and 2 located approximately 5 inches from the bottom corners of the sheet. The collaged Polaroid photograph is adhered to the sheet with four pieces of tape which have accumulated dirt and appear inherently smudged according to the artist's working method. There are scattered smudges across the surface of the work which also appear inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte in all four corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
