Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled and irregularly cut in spots. There is a very slight undulation to the sheet, which is inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of the sheet have yellowed slightly with age and there is a spot accretion below the signature. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte along the top edge and framed under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
