HOWARD HODGKIN | Untitled (Christmas Card)

Gifted by the Artist to Thomas Burt by the 1960s, and thence by descent to the present owner

The sheet is attached to the mount with two tabs along the upper edge. There is some extremely light rubbing to the extreme corners of the card with one very faint crease to the extreme lower right corner, only visible upon close inspection. There is a possible scuff towards the left of the lower edge. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition. The work is float mounted and held behind glass in a painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
