Description
"R Diebenkorn/Berkeley #61/1958" is visible on the reverse in the artist’s hand, suggesting that the artist reused the canvas by painting over an earlier work. "Berkeley #61" and "1958" are covered up with blue crayon, and the "8" may be obscuring an earlier date. In the sequence of the fifty-eight extant Berkeley paintings (fifty-six numbered and two unnumbered), there are no known paintings between #59 (1956, catalogue raisonné no. 2097) and #63 (1956, catalogue raisonné no. 2093).
