Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. There are very soft handling ripples presumably due to the size of the sheet and the unobtrusive way in which it is hinged. The sheet freely floats set into place with plastic tabs that are securely hinged to the mat. The work is framed in a black wood strip frame behind glass.
