Provenance:
Alberto Misrachi (Central de Publicaciones, S. A.), Mexico City
Private Collection, acquired from the above in 1966


Notes: The label affixed to the verso of the Masonite indicates that the work was done in ink, however, hand-written collector's notes on paperwork included with the lot state, "Siqueros was in jail when he painted this. He had no paint. He used shoe polish."

This lot is sold together with a copy of an invoice and shipping document from Misrachi (Central de Publicaciones, S. A.), Mexico, dated Januray 11,1966, and an annotated copy of a 1964 press release issued by New Art Center Gallery, New York, NY.

Fair to good condition. The sheet is laid down as described and shows some vertical cockling in the upper half. Scattered surface soiling and staining commensurate with age.
