This work is in very good condition overall. The right edge is deckled and the sheet undulates which is inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Extremely close inspection and raking light reveals extremely faint and unobtrusive handling marks in isolated places throughout. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at the four corners. Framed under glass.

“When you talk about the absence of black figure representation in the history of art [...] you can talk about it as an exclusion, in which case there’s a kind of indictment of history for failing to be responsible for something it should have been. I don’t have that kind of mission. I don’t have that indictment. My interest in being a part of it is being an expansion of it, not a critique of it.” Kerry James Marshall
