Condition Report

Tack holes to corners, sheet size 13 3/8 x 20 1/2 in.

Old tape residue to all edges recto, archival cloth taped recto to backing mat (cannot examine the reverse due to this mounting), toning, mat burn to edges is more pronounced at the u.r. corner, scattered fox marks some of which (about 4) have been over-painted in white, primarily in the u.c. and c.r. areas.

To further explain the mounting, it appears that archival tape was applied to the edges of the reverse, extending out beyond the edges of the sheet. Then these extended edges of tape were affixed to the back mat with similar tape. Occasionally this second application of tape overlaps the front of the work in some places to about 1/8 inch. The work does not appear to be laid down, as a sheet of paper can be slid under the sheet in one open area along ther lower right side of the work.

The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Condition requests can be obtained via email (lot inquiry button) or by telephone to the appropriate gallery location (Boston/617.350.5400 or Marlborough/508.970.3000). Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Skinner Inc. shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
