Minor bend on top right corner, else a fine copy. Very rare. Bas Jan Ader (Born 1942 in Winschoten, the Netherlands, was lost at sea in 1975 between Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Ireland) was a Dutch conceptual artist. When his boat, 'Ocean Wave' was found 150 miles off the coast of Ireland - unmanned and partially submerged - by a Spanish fishing vessel in 1976, it was taken to La Coruña for investigation. Days later, the boat was stolen. Ader's body was never recovered.
