拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Not examined out of frame. The work appears to be hinged in places on the reverse to its underlying support. There are artist's pinholes to the left and lower right corners. The sheet undulates slightly and the upper horizontal edge is slightly uneven, with two horizontal incisions, presumably process related. There are a few faint creases in places, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. When examined under ultraviolet light there appears to be no sign of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
