Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat board. There is evidence of light wear to the edges and corners of the sheet, only visible upon close inspection. There are artist pinholes at the corners and a very soft undulation to the sheet throughout. There are smudges in the margins, inherent to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.

Catalogue Note
“In Mont Sainte-Victoire Tansey’s paradigm of truth merged Plato’s allegory of prisoners in a cave who perceive reality in shadows with a Frenchman’s critique of a German’s speculations upon the impossibilities of interpretation.” Patterson Sims, Mark Tansey: Art and Source, Seattle 1990, p. 20
