Claire Falkenstein: Untitled

Untitled
1965

Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 9.125" x 12.125"; (23 x 31 cm)
Signature: Initialed and dated in black felt-tip marker canvas verso; inscribed "#P152" in graphite twice to canvas and canvas stretcher bar verso
Condition: Good original condition. Surface is generally clean and bright. Many paint flake losses along edges of canvas, revealing the metallic underpaint below, and light scattered scuffs throughout. Torn loss to left edge of canvas at overlap, approximately 1" by .25", which leads into a tear, approximately .75" in length, to canvas. Canvas is not stretched entirely taut, so there is a slight ripple to the canvas. Staples on the canvas overlap have light to heavy oxidation, which does not affect the composition. Overall, this piece presents very nicely in person.
