Condition Report

There is some loose ink and a spot in the center where some ink may be gone. The item doesn't fit well in the frame and would benefit from some matting. If the item is being shipped to you, we would like to discuss strategies for safe shipping.

Exhibited

Zoe Dusanne (http://www.historylink.org/File/3863)

Notes

On the reverse of the frame are three labels placed by the Zoe Dusanne Gallery. They have listed the work as that of Karl Greis untitled, so this piece has been hiding around since 1964 or before as a Karl Greis. Karl Greis doesn't appear to exist. Our art department's opinion is that the gallery may have mixed the names of Otto Greis with that of Karl Otto Gotz who did similar work. We are therefore attributing this composition to Otto Greis. We are continuing research on this piece
