Condition:

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. A superficial, light layer of dust has settled along the surface. Under very close inspection, there is light evidence of handling and wear to the extreme edges, most notably at the outermost extreme corners where small scattered linear areas of light rubbing to the pigment are visible, particularly in the white elements. Under extremely close inspection, there are scattered unobtrusive, pinpoint brown spot accretions along the top side of the work, particularly in the grey areas. Also under extremely close inspection and in raking light, very faint and unobtrusive superficial scratches are visible on the surface, inherent to the artist's chosen medium. In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. 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.

NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
