Acquired directly from the artist circa 1966

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling toward the edges, which are taped, resulting in some unobtrusive black abrasions along the bottom edge and minor paint loss along the left edge toward the bottom. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few scattered pinpoint accretions that fluoresce brightly, but there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
