Description
This work was estate-stamped using a replica of Packer's signature after her passing. In a note from the executor of her estate, we were informed that Packer only signed prints that she sold directly or were consigned with galleries. Following her death, remaining impressions - still unsigned - were given the replica signature as a posthumous mark of authenticity. This is one such impression: entirely printed by the artist and unsigned as usual, now authenticated in her stead by the estate.
