Condition

This mural-sized chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. While the overall tonality is muted and faint, the colors do not appear to have faded. There are a few very tiny brown deposits on the Diasec face at the upper portion of the image. Upon very close inspection in raking light, scattered superficial surface scratches and scuffs on the Diasec face are visible. On the reverse of the frame are Rose Gallery, Santa Monica, and Sonnabend Gallery, New York, labels.
