Accrual Method: Collection was gifted to the Danforth in 2006. Unfortunately they sat uncatalogued for close to 10 years. It took until an IMLS grant awarded in 2015 through 2016 for this collection to be catalogued and put into the collections database. - Rachel 2021
Provenance: Gift of the Meta V. W. Fuller Trust Part of the Estate of Meta V. W. Fuller from 1968-2001. In the collection of the Meta V. W. Fuller Trust, 2001-2006
Condition: Fair: Possible plaster accretion at subject's left shoulder, nose is flattened, some irregular surface marks throughout. Comment by wg: Plasticene still soft and "impressionable". Possible finger nail marks in many places as folks try to determine if media is plasticene. The points of two small pins protrude from the bottom.
