Christie’s New York, Post-War and Contemporary Art, 15 September 2004, Sale 1407, Lot 156

This unique object is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, deposits of original retouching are visible overall on the magazine illustration and on the purple paper. The purple paper is lifting very slightly at the edges. The glitter has appropriately faded over time. The pink mount is lightly soiled the lower corners are mildly worn. None of the aforementioned affects the overall fine appearance of the object.
