Robert Rauschenberg, New York
Bequest to the present owner from the above

This work is in very good condition overall. The paper is irregularly torn and taped, and there are some light graphite smudges, which all appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. The tape has yellowed slightly with age. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
