DescriptionSomewhat figural. A printed 'collage' with a central element in black created by frottage (texture rubbing) from a knitted garment, possibly a sweater sleeve. Above and over this are lines that create a 'head' and a bright red brushstroke above this looks like a hat or hair.ProvenanceNew York, NY, Terry A. Murray
