PROVENANCE: Private collection Günther Förg.

Fine overall impression. The watercolor areas are probably slightly faded. The edges of the image are somewhat irregular in places. A few tiny specks of dirt on the upper left and upper center edges of the image. Isolated, small crease marks and a few bruises, but these are inherent to the work.
