Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the Plexiglas box including a minor chip in the upper right corner and some faint surface abrasions. The collaged elements inside are all intact and there is a slight undulation to the watercolor-painted paper, inherent to the artist's intent and chosen medium.
