Artist: Ken Sawyer Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has several drip stains scattered in various areas (see our image - especially in the orange background and lighter-colored areas). There is a stray 2" pencil mark at lower center in the art near and in the woman's arm and there are a pair of staple holes in the center of the horizontal folds and along portions of the edges. There is a piece of masking tape on back of the upper and lower left edges (not put there for any restoration purpose) that slightly stain some areas on back. Despite these defects the poster is "all there" and retains its color, and after a relatively simple backing it would look terrific, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
