Intermittent abrasions to the extreme edges, most notably at each lower corner. Scattered spots of discoloration to white areas of canvas at all four edges. One horizontal scratch measuring approx. 2 inches at lower left corner. Scattered scuff marks throughout. A faint X-shaped area of yellow discoloration extends through the central image, somewhat visible under normal viewing conditions and fluoresces under UV light, which appears inherent to the work as it is illustrated in the 1982 exhibition catalog. Additional areas of slight yellowing caused by varnish are visible along the extreme edges of each drawing. Varnished areas fluoresce under UV light. Please request additional images.
