Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, Contemporary American & European Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, May 14, 1970, lot 48, illustrated

This thin canvas has been mounted on masonite, and it is probable that the work was mounted by the artist or with his knowledge. It certainly has not suffered from this mounting. The paint layer does not appear to have been cleaned or retouched in any way. There are also no losses, damages or restorations.
