Acquired from the artist by the present owner 2005

This work has been examined under glass. The medium appears stable. Both the upper left and lower right corners were cracked--a fissure line is visible in each of these corners. However, the corners have been reaffixed and do appear stable. A four-inch scratch, potentially not inherent to the work, is visible in the upper right quadrant of the Plexiglas. This work is in generally good condition.
