Condition
Tree of Life
This work is in very good condition. There are handling and soiling marks in the upper right and upper left corners. There are a few light soft crimps to the tarp support scattered intermittently over the surface, probably related to previous rolling of the tarp, but the pigment surface is intact. There are slight small scuffs in the green tree located
1) 36" up from the bottom and 61" in from the left edge
2) 61" up from the bottom and 12" up from the bottom
3) 55" up from the bottom and 55" in from the left edge.
There is a black scuff, possibly rubbed from the pigment outlines, located between the hands of the bottom two figures. The tarp has metal grommets around the edges for installation and is unframed.
