Formerly in the collection of the artist, thence by descent
Private Asian Collection

There is evidence of tears, creases and fox marks on the surface of the work. There is a horizontal fold mark at the upper center area of the work, along with light abrasions to the surface. There are pinhead sized dotted accretions, but this is only visible upon close inspection. There are pinholes along the edges of the work. All other inconsistencies are inherent to the artist's working method and the nature of the medium. Framed, under plexiglass.
