ANDRÉ MASSON | Amour de centaures

Galerie Gérard Piltzer, Paris
Private collection, France

Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the mount with tape along the upper edge. The left and lower edges are deckled. The sheet is slightly undulating. There are a few flattened creases in places, notably to the upper part of the left edge and to the centre of the lower edge. There are some faint flecks of foxing in places. The sheet is slightly light stained. There is some mount staining along the edges (not visible when framed). This work is in overall very good condition.
