Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There are scattered light abrasions with some minor resultant paint loss, only visible upon close inspection, most notably in a blue area at the upper left and in a purple area in the lower right quadrant. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at all four corners. Framed under glass.
