PRODUCT DETAILS
Title: The Endless Knot
Year: 1992
Medium: Graphite pencil on tracing paper
Size (inclusive of matting): 589 (h) x 383 (w) mm
Framing: Matted only
Authenticity: Includes a certificate of authenticity, "genuine original artwork" stamped, dated and hand-signed by Rodney Matthews
Condition (reflected in the price): Fold line; some creasing; small paint mark at bottom right hand corner; plus four specks of foxing* (this has occurred due to past storage in damp conditions - removing the artwork from such conditions has ceased the foxing process)
* When paper is made, traces of metal from the machine can sometimes make their way into the paper's fibres. If this happens and the paper is then exposed to moisture - via high humidity or damp - the metal traces begin to oxidise. This process causes a discolouration in the form of yellow spots or blotches. The ideal environment for artwork should be cool, dry and stable.
