BEN NICHOLSON, O.M. | two jugs

Bernard Jacobson Gallery, London, where acquired by the present owner in 1990

The sheet is adhered to a supportive card backing at all four corners, with two further pieces of adhesive tape at the upper and lower edges. The supportive card is then in turn secured to the mount. The right edge of the sheet is slightly deckled, and the other edges are unevenly cut, in keeping with the Artist's intentions. There is a slight crease in the centre of the sheet. There is a pin sized hole in the centre of the lower third of the sheet, and one further extremely tiny pinprick in the centre of the sheet, towards the left margin. The sheet may be very slightly discoloured. Subject to the above the work is in very good overall condition. The sheet is float mounted band held behind perspex in a simple wooden frame.
