Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the sheet which is obscured by the top matte, including a small build-up of yellow residue at the corners, possibly a result of a prior frame, and some very minor skinning at the lower right and upper left corners. Under very close inspection there are two extremely faint and unobtrusive areas of yellow staining visible, one in the upper left corner of the painted area, the other on the upper edge of the painted area 2 inches from the right edge. On the right edge, there is an extremely thin layer of paper residue which is also obscured by the work's top matte. The sheet is cornered into the matte at the upper right, lower right and lower left corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
