Wonsook Kim
(Korean-American, b. 1953)
I Have Lumps in My Breast, 1979
Crayon on paper
8" x 5 1/4"

Float-mounted behind glass in a metal frame that measures 11" x 8". Unsigned.

Provenance: From the Bill & Ellen Morgan collection, thence from the artist. Bill Morgan is a professor emeritus of English at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. Wonsook Kim befriended Bill Morgan and Nicolas Africano as a student at Illinois State University in the 1970s, and her ties to the university remained strong throughout her artistic career. In 2019, ISU's School of Art was renamed in her honor.

Condition

Very good condition, noting very mild mat burn along the extreme bottom edge, presumably from a previous non-archival frame.
