Condition Report

Tack holes to corners with some surrounding marks left by the tack head. Sheet is affixed to the plexiglass backing along a horizontal line on the top center of the reverse, about 3 inches down from the top. Edges are not tacked down. Slight curl to paper along bottom edge. No inscriptions on the reverse, as far as can be seen. Glue stains from old hinging on the top edge of the reverse. Toning to the edges of the sheet.

The frame consists of two pieces of plexiglass (clear top sheet, white plex bottom) that have been drilled at intervals around the perimeter and fastened together with screws. There is a plexiglass box affixed to the reverse that serves as the hanging mechanism and projects the frame away from the wall. The bottom of this "hanging box" is damaged, but it is still functional.

The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Condition requests can be obtained via email (lot inquiry button) or by telephone to the appropriate gallery location (Boston/617.350.5400 or Marlborough/508.970.3000). Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Skinner Inc. shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
