Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age, as the area under the matte is slightly lighter in color. The collaged element is slightly creased, presumably inherent to the found medium. The top and bottom edges are deckled, and the sheet is laid down onto the backing board. Framed under Plexiglas.
