Description

  • Robert Mapplethorpe
  • BABY'S BREATH
  • Gelatin silver
signed and editioned '6/10' in ink in the margin, flush-mounted, the copyright stamp, signed and dated, and with numbers '6/10' and '[MAP] 917' in ink on the reverse, 1982 (Complete Flowers, pl. 53)

Condition

This print is generally in very good to excellent condition. The print is somewhat bowed, the margin edges are rubbed, and the corners are bumped. In raking light in the upper margin edge, there appears to be a difference in the texture of the top layer of the paper. This does not affect the image. At the top margin near the edge on the front, there is light soiling. On the reverse of the flush-mount, there is random scattered foxing that does not appear to affect the print. There is an accompanying frame backboard with a Robert Miller Gallery, New York, label on the reverse.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
