Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the texture of the collaged elements.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to a backing card at intervals on the reverse and undulates slightly. There is light discolouration to the newspaper collage. Upon close inspection there are a few cracks and tears towards the centre of the composition. These, and all other surface irregularities, are inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
