Outsider Art

There are 4 small pinholes, one in each corner. There are two bends from handling. A one inch bend (halfway down from top, right edge) , and a slightly longer one inset, slightly lower than previous mention. No paper or emulsion break. This work is in good and stable condition. Eugene Von Bruenchenhein purchased standard photographic paper in the 1940s. Therefore, most of the photographs are sized at 10 x 8, 7 x 5, or 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches. All photographs are untitled, unsigned and undated as is consistent with the work. On the verso of each are two inventory numbers written in graphite: one from Works from the Estate of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein and the second from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, Wisconsin who inventoried works from the artist's home after his death.
