Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of aging and slight discoloration to the paper, most noticeable along the edges, which are taped. Under close inspection, scattered unobtrusive light brown spot accretions are visible along the upper lateral edges, likely inherent to stray adhesive. There are oil stains to the sheet around the painted areas and drying bubbles throughout, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.

"The indeterminate contours and slashing shorthand push the figures de Kooning painted in the second half of the 1960s into abstraction and vice versa. The figure is dared into existence. The body of the seated, splayed-legged woman...is so marginally delineated that it all but becomes a negative space. Her legs dissolve, her arms are almost impossible to locate...Some of the primal ambiguities and ferocity of Woman I rise to the surface."
Klaus Kertess in Exh. Cat., Kunstmuseum Basel, de Kooning, Paintings 1960-1980, 2005, p. 56
