Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is light evidence of handling along the edges including very faint surface soiling at the bottom of the left edge. The edges of the sheet are deckled and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. Under very close inspection, a pinpoint brown spot accretion is visible along the right edge towards the bottom and along the left edge towards the top. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at each corner. Framed under Plexiglas.

Catalogue Note
"It's an intimate medium. It's very direct, it's very close. There is less between the artist and the art. There is real closeness, direct contact. A painting is about refinement of image. And drawing isn't. Drawing is not refinement. I don't think drawing is less than painting...I find that painting doesn't have the fluidity that drawing has. And that's always, to me, the battle, to get fluidity into the painting."
