Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The illustration fails to fully convey the metallic quality of the silver paper in the left of the composition, and the three dimensional collaged elements apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is minor lifting to some of the collaged elements, notably to the top of the blue paper in the left of the composition, likely inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
