Please note that outsider artists often incorporate discarded or salvaged materials into their work, and often stored and displayed works in at-home outdoor sculpture gardens. This lot may exhibit condition issues associated with those practices including, but not limited to, surface soiling, abrasions, creases, holes, and tears, which is part of the charm of outsider art.
