Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet which is inherent to the artist's working method. The edges and corners of the sheet lift slightly. There are scattered drip accretions across the surface and pinpoint losses to the paint along the edges. Otherwise there are no other apparent condition problems with this work. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at the top two corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
