MARIO SCHIFANO (1934-1998)

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 canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There are a few handling marks in places to the edges. There is minor rubbing in places to the edges, presumably due to framing. There are a few linear drying cracks to the red impasto in the lower half, presumably due to the artist's working method. When examined under ultra-violet light there is no indication of inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in good condition.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair, and wear and tear.
