Condition Report:
Please note the colours and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

This unique Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. When examined closely, fine craquelure is visible in the blood. There is a trapped fiber of indeterminate nature in the upper left quadrant, likely a result of the photographer's working process. The lower left corner is creased.

The print is tipped to a mat so that the reverse could not be fully examined. Framed under glass.

Provenance:
Michael Hoppen Gallery, 2005
