Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Many of the surface inconsistencies appear inherent to the collaged medium. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges with associated abrasions in the paper primarily located at the top two corners. Additionally, there is an area of clustered small surface abrasions located 7 inches from the bottom edge and 2 inches from the right edge which is visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a slight undulation to the collaged sheet also visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a 2 inch tear located along the bottom edge 2 inches from the right edge. Some of the collaged elements have lifted slightly but appear stable and secure. Framed under Plexiglas.
