Condition
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant.
This work is in very good original condition. Two photographic sheets adjoin horizontally across the middle of the work. Close inspection reveals a number of creases and tears to the edges of the sheets, which are all inherent to the artist's method.
