Pat Steir

Robert Miller Gallery, New York
Acquired by the present owner from the above in July 1997

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the bottom edge of the painting, most notably in the bottom two corners where some minor paint loss has occurred. Portions of the sides of the canvas are covered with painted red tape, some of which is starting to come detached from the canvas. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed
