Mark Tobey

Private Collection, Zurich
Private Collection, Germany

This work is in very good condition overall. There is slight creasing and dogearing to the tips of the corners with a very minor resultant spot of paint loss at the upper right corner. There are some visible areas of frame rub along the lower and upper right edges. The light brown color of the paperboard support creates a visible border along the edges and the areas where the media was applied les thickly reveal the fibrous nature of the support, both likely inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the matte. Framed under glass.
