Raymond Pettibon

Galerie Georg Kargl, Vienna
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the sheet tends more towards cream in the original. Condition: This work is in good original condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in the upper two corners and undulates slightly. There is an artist's pinhole in the lower left, lower right and upper left corner. Very close inspection reveals some slight discolouration along all four edges, which is possibly mount staining from a previous frame. Close inspection reveals light handling creases throughout the sheet with two associated small tears, one towards the lower centre of the left edge and one towards the upper right corner. Further close inspection reveals some light discolouration to some of the ink. There is a stain to the sheet in the lower right corner as visible in the catalogue illustration, which is likely to be original. For further information on potential treatment options of the stain, please contact the Contemporary Department.
