Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Cream wove paper. Very good to fine condition. Comment(s): The black "marks" evident in the image are not on the image itself but are the black background behind the object. Fontana has deliberately pieced/perforated his paper, and the black background is in place to better display the tears/rips/holes in the paper.
