GRACE HARTIGAN | The Mirror

Tibor de Nagy Gallery, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner 

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to each corner, including artist's pinholes in each corner with some associated tears at all four corners. There is an undulation to the sheet, which is inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. The sheet is slightly time stained. Under close inspection there are a few, scattered areas of pinpoint brown accretions visible throughout the lower horizontal register of the sheet that may be evidence of foxing. Under close inspection, slight lifting at the perimeter of a few collaged elements is visible. The work is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
