Nicholas Wilder Gallery, Los Angeles
Private Collection, Los Angeles
Gift to the present owner from the above circa 1970

This work is in good and sound condition overall. There are some light handling marks and wear to the edges of the sculpture, including one spot of hairline craquelure. Where the two parts of the sculpture join, there are two spots where the paint has chipped, the most noticeable of which results in a 1/2 inch paint loss.
