Curt Marcus Gallery, New York
Acquired by the present owner from the above in 1987

This work is in very good condition overall. There is pale time staining to the notebook page and some creasing to the sheet. The photograph is window matted and shows no surface scratches. The found paper and box both show signs of wear, soiling, scattered accretions and some losses, due to the artist's choice of found materials. Each element is framed under Plexiglas.
