Makler Gallery, Philadelphia
Acquired from the above by the present owners in 1969

Generally good condition. Executed on tracing paper, t-hinged to a mount at top two corners, bottom edge is deckled. Sheet is time-darkened, especially near right and left edges with pronounced marks from old tape. There are hard sheet-length vertical creases approximately two inches in from left and right edges and a two-inch long stroke of blue pigment to the right of the crease at right -- these appear to be inherent to artist's process and are concealed by current window-mat. There are two repaired tears along bottom edge -- a one-inch long repaired tear three inches right of center and a quarter-inch tear one inch left of center. There are also two repaired tears along top edge -- a one-inch repaired tear at center of top edge and a one-inch repaired tear five inches in from left edge.
