RUFINO TAMAYO | Dos sandías

Galería Misrachi, Mexico City
Acquired from the above

This work is in good condition overall. The media layer is stable. The sheet is light-struck. Under raking light inspection, a 1/2 inch horizontal surface loss to the sheet becomes present in the upper left quadrant, two inches to the left of the watermelons. Two very faint rust-colored fingerprint marks become apparent in the lower right quadrant at the edge of the sheet, two inches upwards from the signature. On the reverse of the sheet, a tape remnant is present running along the extreme upper edge of the sheet.
