mounted, annotations in pencil on the reverse, framed, 1954

Acquired from Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York, 1999

This print, on paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: silvering at the periphery and a small (one-inch), soft linear indentation near the upper left corner. The mount is off-white on the recto and creamy/pale yellow on the reverse. Annotations in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse of the mount are as follows: 'AS-3'; 'TY'; and 'Vintage.' There is light soiling and 3 small cloth tape remnants at the upper and lower edges on the reverse of the mount. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce very slightly.
