Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the contrast between the collage elements and the sheet is more pronounced in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition and is hinged at intervals to the upper edge. There are artist's pinholes to all four corners. A few corners of the collage pieces are slightly lifting. There is a very slight crease to the right extreme edge, just above the centre. There are a number of tiny isolated pigment specks and pinprick-sized media accretions to the lower edge, in the upper left quadrant and to a few places elsewhere.
