Notes:
[1] According to the Saint Louis Art Museum accession record, the painting was with Paul Kantor before Joseph Pulitzer Jr. acquired it. This fact is supported by the Paul Kantor Gallery label on the verso of the painting. A 1957 publication lists the artist as the owner preceding Paul Kantor Gallery; while it is clear that Paul Kantor Gallery possessed the painting, it is not certain whether the gallery handled the painting for Diebenkorn or purchased it from him [Chetham, Charles Scott. "Modern Painting, Drawing & Sculpture Collected by Louise and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr." Cambridge, MA: Fogg Art Museum, vol. 1, 1957, cat. 19].
