Condition Report:
This work is in good condition overall. There are tonal and textural variations to the surface, inherent to the artist's working method and chosen media. The canvas is slightly relaxed on the strainer. There is some evidence of wear, including associated minor losses, to the turning edges and corners, not visible when framed. There is some scattered stable hairline cracking throughout, including scattered minute pinpoint losses, most notably in the areas of heavier impasto, visible upon close inspection. Under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed without glazing.

Provenance:
Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York

Estate of Anita Reiner, New York (acquired from the above in 1986)
