Master of Ceremonies: The Joel Grey Collection

Framed: 32 1/2 x 29 inches.

Paper is toned with light and time. Some light scattered spots of foxing are apparent. There is texture and crinkling to the paper, which appears to be in the making - there is a larger, more noticeable diagonal crease at top left corner. There is an L-shaped slice to the extreme left edge of the paper, near center, under the black ink. There is a very small area of rubbing with associated loss (<1/4 inch) to background above monkey's tail, to the right. See Specialist photos for details. There are also pinholes present at all four corners. There is a small area of discoloration along bottom edge, in left corner. Work has slipped slightly from top hinges and is gently resting along bottom of frame - please note that the piece appears to be stable.

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. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
