Estate of the Artist
Acquired from the above by the present owner in December 2004

This work is in very good condition overall. The right vertical and bottom edges are deckled. There is a slight undulation to the sheet. Under close inspection, there are a few areas of stray media, possibly inherent to the artist's working method. Upon further inspection, there are some minor creases throughout and a light layer of dust that has adhered to the paper. Please note that this work will be sold unframed.
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.
