Condition Report:
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.
While this unique, large-format Polaroid print has not been examined out of the frame, it appears to be in generally excellent condition. There is masking tape with the artist's numbering system creating a grid across the image, preparatory steps for his largescale oil on canvas titled Lorna (1995), made after the present Polaroid print and now in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The condition is expected for this unique working object.
