Paperwork from the Leidenfrost files showing images and availability details for this screenprint, together with "A Pumpkin yB-B" also on offer in this auction, and many others by this artist, all from the same gallery in Japan, suggest that the Leidenfrosts acquired both of their Kusama prints in about 2008 from Gallery Keiko Goto, MK International Inc., Shizuoka, Japan. Copies of these materials are included with this lot.

Overall very good condition. Full margins with deckled edges. The sheet is loose, secured to the overmat with archival paper corners. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
