5.22.26-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1039- please note, I am not an expert on such works, the work has been examined in frame only, I do not have permission to remove the work from the frame, pardon the glare of the overhead lighting, the work sits atop the back board, I do not know how it is secured to the back board or what type of adhesive was used, a UV light examination is unremarkable, the sheet edges are slightly irregular and a bit wavy, there is a very small loss to the upper right corner edge, the sheet appears to possibly have been folded as the center I note a very faint line, see images, the right edges shows very minor discoloration, which may be inherent to the work, frame joints are stable, wood shows a few light abrasions and nicks, plexi cover is intact with only light surface wear, overall I note no apparent or significant restorations
