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. All collage elements appear to be present and adhere well to their underlying support. There are a few faint abrasions and handling marks in places. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places. There are some irregularities to the upper black quadrant of the canvas corresponding to historic packing materials. When examined under ultra-violet light there is no indication of any inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
