Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The photograph has been intentionally burned and the cracks on the right side of the photograph and the adhered wax are inherent to the artist's working method and visible in the catalogue illustration. Ashes and debris from the wax and photograph have accumulated on the bottom of the frame, as is to be expected from works from this series. Framed under glass.
