The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This lot is located in Philadelphia.
Condition
In overall good condition. The sheet is affixed to the verso of the mat at four corners via old strips of rubber-tape. The sheet stays relatively flat, with minor creases up top, and light crinkles verso, due to the medium itself. With a beautiful black shine throughout. Light scuff marks at upper right quadrant, near the edge as well as at upper center (over the cat's head): only light dust, easily removable. The white streaks at center right are part of the artist's working method. With evidence of rubbing and scratching alongside the top outer edge verso due to old brown tape. Additional images available upon request.
