THOMAS DOWNING | Grid Three Saranac

Acquired by the present owner in 1987

This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is slack on the stretcher resulting in some buckling along the left and right side of the canvas. There is a horizontal linear crease across the majority of the canvas approximately 1/3 of the way down the canvas. Under close inspection, there are some scattered points of accretions and faint scattered points of discoloration. Under raking light, there are two minor protrusions to the lower center edge. Framed.
