Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The glitter elements are well adhered. There are surface irregularities and undulations throughout the work’s surface, inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. There is some light cracking throughout the painted areas. As is to be expected in a work of this construction, the work is slightly dusty in the deepest folds and crevices.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
