Condition
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of a soft rippling to the paper. There is a faint surface abrasion located 2 inches from the left edge and 7 inches from the bottom edge. There are two minor creases in the white square-shaped figure on the bottom, presumably inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is floating and is intermittently secured to the matte at the edges verso. Framed under Plexiglas. Not examined out of the frame.
