  Condition

  10.9.23-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1329- A UV examination is unremarkable, I note only what appears to be a very small possible scratch/abrasion on the painted crossbar of the underside picnic table, see image, the canvas appears free of rips, tears or restorations, I opened the tape at dust cover and do not note anything to visible rear canvas, the black frame has a small area of finish loss at lower left front and along the lower bottom edge, the client purchased this piece from Peter Mendenhall Gallery (one of the authorized representatives of the artists works) in Pasendena, California. The consignor retains a two-part book series with works by the artist, according to the consignor this painting is featured on page 36 in the Kenton Nelson Box set, book titled Rhyme and Reason (the other book Prose and Cons-both pubished 2005), I am not an expert on such works or this artist, please let me know if I may answer further questions <br><br>
