Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas appears not to be lined. There is wear and handling marks to the edges, with some associated rubbing to the paint and minor paint loss, most likely from past framing. There is a pinpoint loss revealing the underlying canvas at the turning edge above the signature, not visible when framed. There is some hairline craquelure in the bottom right corner. There are a few pinpoint areas of restoration, barely visible under Ultra Violet light due to the nature of the collage medium. Framed. A professional condition report is available upon request. Please contact the Contemporary Art Department at (212)606-7254.
