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 sheet is held in its window mount. There is an artist's pinhole to the upper right corner. There is some minor undulation to the edges with faint creases to the right vertical edge. There is a very faint impression along the edges, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. There are some minor accretions along the left vertical edge. There are some pinpoint paint losses in places. Subject to the foregoing, it is in our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
