ProvenanceThe work came directly from the gallery, who bought the works from a German collector who had gotten it from the artist in the later 1970s where it remained until now. The work is now coming to the museum.Exhibition HistoryThe work has not been exhibited before, and I have not found it to be published anywhere though a red-tinted version was sold with another lot of 2010.
