Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The work is hinged with photo corners to its underlying support. The sheet undulates slightly to the edges. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places to the extreme edges and to the upper left quadrant. There are a few indentations to the paper to the right vertical extreme edge, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method and not affecting the image. It is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition. Catalogue illustration: Fairly accurate.
