Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There are artist’s pinholes at the four corners and a slight undulation to each of the sheets, inherent to the artist’s working method. There are scattered graphite smudges, footprints, creases and scattered accretions, which also appear intended by the artist. The sheets are each hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
