WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | Drawing from 'Preparing the Flute'

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to the mat. There are multiple artist pinholes in each of the four corners, along the top, left and right edge and beneath the second horizontal band of drawings in the upper quadrant. The top and bottom edges of the sheet are heavily deckled, with associated creasing and minor tears. There is slight undulation to the sheet and a very faint crease along the right edge, approximately 17 in. from the top edge. There are smudges throughout, inherent to the work and from time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.
