Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the backing board tends more towards cream in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the ripped paper apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some light discolouration to the backing board and newspaper that has occurred over time and is in keeping with the artist's choice of medium. There are a few loose paper elements that have collected at the bottom of the Plexiglas frame. Upon close inspection, there are a small number of fine hairline scratches to the top and bottom sides of the Plexiglas frame.
