Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes in the collaged elements which are inherent to the artist's working method. The edges of several collaged elements show evidence of minimal lifting from the canvas, most noticably located 6 inches from the left edge and 8 1/4 inches from the bottom edge, although the collage is secure in these places. There are a few scattered, minute spot losses located 7 inches from the left edge and 14 inches from the bottom edge and along the extreme edges. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of inpainting. Framed.
