Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down. The sheet is fixed to the mount at various points (very probably by the artist). A close inspection reveals some scattered tiny faint spots of foxing and some tiny media marks, mostly in the back ground and towards the edges. There are two old glue stains along the edge of the largest collage section and two very faint flattened creases towards the upper right corner. Apart from some light time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
