Description

  • Aaron Siskind
  • 'Volcano 103'
  • gelatin silver print
signed, titled, and dated in ink in the margin, framed, 1980

Condition

This large print is in generally very good to excellent condition. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: faint silvering around the perimeter of the image; scattered soft and sharp creases on the image and in the margins that do not appear to break the emulsion; and very faint rippling in the right portion of the image and upper margin edge. The left and right margin edges are slightly curled, and the margin corners are bumped. There are some scattered deposits of indeterminate nature on the reverse. 'V103-80' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
