What Do You See? The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Part I

In overall very good condition. The sheet is affixed to the undermat via 2 pieces of old brown tape at the top edges, so that one can flip the sheet and inspect the verso. The sheet is slightly toned, but presents beautifully without any apparent losses and still a strong color palette throughout. Small scratches at bottom left corner (in the corner itself, and just above). With minor smudges and evidence of handling along the outer edges of the work. Two pinholes along the center left edge, mechanically made for the lithograph version. Another series of pinpoint holes in the upper left (two) and upper right (one) corners, sensibly smaller. No evidence of inpainting, or repair, as seen under UV light. With four ‘Ostende’ stamps at each corner on the back, and with remnants of old paper tape along the left and bottom outer edges verso. See Specialist's pictures for more details.
