Interiors

Smaller: 92 3/4 x 60 inches; each frame: 95 3/4 x 64 inches. Each inscribed: Richard Tobey in pencil on stretcher verso. Both in fine condition overall for age. The canvases seem to have been stored unstretched for an unknown period. The frames are stable and are not heavy. Per the consignor, there were originally four of these panels but our client left two in Germany when they emigrated to the United States. The panels are not lined, but each has been conserved at some point over the years, including stabilization of creases/impact marks, and inpainting of small areas of losses throughout each panel. Each with a few small losses to the painted surface. One with a few small drips of house paint to right side. Under UV light: the white pigment in the tempera floresces, especially where the artist used it to heighten colors on the figures and in the sky. There are a few areas of inpainting around the damages. Please see the condition images for more information.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
