Acquired from the above by the present owner in 1975

Pittsburgh, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh International Exhibition of Contemporary Painting and Sculpture, October 1961 - January 1962

This work is in good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are taped and there is evidence of light wear to the edges. There is stable cracking throughout the work, most notably in the black-painted areas, but all areas of impasto and craquelure are stable. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there are a few minor spots in the black painted areas that fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefited from light retouching. Framed.
