Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. All of the collaged elements are secure. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the found objects including some very minor partial tears at the rounded edge and some light creases to the paper. There are faint media accretions visible throughout and an artistÂ’s pinpoint to the right of the silver spraypainted area at the bottom. The left and right edges of the paper have curled slightly. The central white protruding box is dented and misshapen along its edges, possibly inherent to the artistÂ’s intent.
