Anmerkung : The former New England Center for Contemporary Art (NECCA) in Brooklyn, Connecticut was founded by farmer Henry Riseman (1913-2008) and his artist wife Marion Riseman (1928-2010) from the proceeds of their sale of Tiffany at Sotheby’s in 1975.
Condition_report : Unframed. The canvas is slightly loose on the stretcher, unlined.
Networks of very light surface cracking throughout, all of which appear stable. Cracking is most visible within the right-hand side. Light central stretcher bar impression lines visible running vertically across the centre of the work. There are also two associated protrusions to the canvas in the lower centre of the work. Minor wear to the corners. There is a brown liquid residue stain on the reverse, largely along the edges. White paint patches to the upper left corner/edge, possibly inherent.
Inspection under UV light reveals no clear signs of restoration or repair.
The above excepting, the work appears to be in good condition.
