Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. All pages are intact and the binding is stable. There is some discoloration to the paper, most notably along the edges of the respective sheets, consistent with the age of the work. There is evidence of handling wear to the edges of the pages, most notably near the binding on the front and back covers, and a soft crease to the upper right corner of the front cover, visible upon close inspection. There are scattered accretions throughout, most notably two vertical linear accretions on the front cover; a 3 inch stain to the upper edges of several interior pages, not visible when closed; and a small accretion at the upper edge of the back cover.

Provenance:
Estate of Keith Haring, New York (acquired directly from the artist)

The Keith Haring Foundation (by bequest from the above in 1990)
