Property from an Important New York Collection
CATHERINE OPIE
b. 1961
BO
framed to the photographer's specifications
chromogenic print, flush-mounted
59⅛ x 29¼ in.; 150.2 x 74.3 cm
1994, this work is number 6 from an edition of 8.
While this chromogenic print has not been examined out of its frame, it appears to be in generally excellent condition. The colors remain bright and saturated, with no apparent fading. When examined extremely closely under high raking light, the following are visible: a few hairline scratches that do not appear to break the emulsion; and tiny deposits of original retouching.
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.
