Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at three points along the top edge and floating in the mount. The left edge is perforated. Apart from some light undulations to the sheet, intrinsic to the artist's process, this work is in good original condition.
Colours: All fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the medium is slightly more varied and the colours crisper in the original.
