Condition
The main sheet and collaged element appear to be in excellent original condition, both entirely sound and clean, although the lower edge of the main sheet may possibly have suffered some slight discolouration.
The paint surface appears to be entirely sound and stable throughout.
Presented in the original perspex and wood box frame. There is a loss to the perspex in the upper left hand corner and the work would therefore possibly benefit from re-presentation.
Please note that the sheet is slightly more yellow in tone than it appears in the catalogue illustration.
