Condition
A 1 x 1 1/2 inch portion of the lower left corner reattached and touched-up. Possible other areas of touch-up, although difficult to confirm. Some scattered unobtrusive foxing, primarily in the lower right quadrant. A few rice-sized (or smaller) paper losses and/or very short edge tears (1/2 inch or less) in places along the extreme sheet edges, some of which are attendant with small, reinforced areas on the paperboard's verso. An unobtrusive, 1 3/4 inch, delicate, hairline, surface scratch near the center of the right edge. The extreme tips of the corners slightly dog-eared. As mentioned, the sheet is mounted to paperboard, most likely by the artist. The work is loose, simply set within its built-up matboard surrounding, and then further secured by the slight overlap of its linen-covered overmat.Framed under glass: 42 1/4 x 50 3/4 x 1 3/4 in.Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
