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 presents well, with no apparent losses. Small scratches at bottom right corner (above the signature, in the background). With minor smudges and evidence of handling along the outer edges of the work. The sheet is slightly toned, and leaves an image stain when lifted. Two mechanical pinholes along the top outer edge, made for the lithograph version. Another series of (smaller) pinpoint holes visible in each corner of the sheet. No evidence of inpainting, or repair, as seen under UV light. With three (remnants of) ‘Ostende’ stamps verso and remnants of old paper tape along the top outer edges verso. See Specialist's pictures for more details.
