Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. On the left panel, he paper has yellowed slightly. There are scattered graphite smudges and media accretions, which appear to be from the t.mes
of execution and inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of light rippling to the paper, visible under raking light. On the right panel, some glue residue is visible, but there are no other condition issues of note. Each panel is framed in a Plexiglas box.

Catalogue Note
"As human life is ephemeral, so is the life of a piece of art. That fact is what makes Christo so intriguing to me." - Peter B. Lewis
