Private Collection
Shinwa Art Auction, Tokyo, 21 November 2015, Lot 323
Acquired from the above sale by the present owner

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age and there is light horizontal and vertical staining visible along the top and left edges, presumably from a previous frame. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There is a small drip stain visible in the upper right corner. Under very close inspection, there is pinpoint evidence of foxing in the lower right quadrant. The sheet is cornered to the top matte in all four corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
