Description
- Françoise Gilot
- Tête volante
- 50.5 by 65.5cm., 19 7/8 by 25 3/4 in.
- Executed in Vallauris in 1948.
Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, and taped to the overmount along the upper edge. All four edges are slightly deckled, most prominently on the left and right edges. There are some creases in places (some with very minor associated craquelure to the medium), most prominently to the left edge and a small 1.5cm-long tear to the centre of the left edge. The sheet is very slightly undulated in places, relating to the heavy use of medium. This work is in overall good condition.
