Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is slight undulation to the sheet. There are 4 areas of creases at the extreme right edge, presumably inherent to the found nature of the media. All other surface inconsistencies are also presumably inherent to the work and to the artist's method. The sheet is hinged to the verso to the matte at the upper two corners.
