Campbell Thiebuad Gallery, San Francisco
Acquired by the present owner from the above in 1999

This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist's pinholes in the bottom right and left corners. The right and top edges of the sheet have been torn irregularly, resulting in minor tears along the right edge and slightly more noticeable tears along the top edge, including a ½-inch area along the top where the paper has been torn out, all presumably original to the artist's intention. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of the sheet have discolored slightly with age. There is a ½-inch media accretion at the lower left corner. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the top and lateral edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
