RUFINO TAMAYO | Sin título (Mujer dormida)

Mary-Leigh Call Smart, Maine (acquired in Mexico) 
A gift from the above 

This work is in good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer is stable overall. A few very minor pinpoint spots of media loss are present in the forehead of the figure. Two faint half-inch horizontal creases to the sheet are present in the lower left quadrant. Under raking light inspection, a few glossy surface accretions become apparent throughout.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

We wish to thank Juan Carlos Pereda for his kind assistance in the cataloguing of this work.
