Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear to the lower left and right corners and in places along the lower extreme edge. There is light discolouration to the fabric in the top left quadrant and some light time staining to the paper collage in the top right corner, both inherent to the artist's choice of medium. Under raking light, there are a small number of scattered hairline scratches to the Plexi.
