Condition
The work is in very good condition. The piece is hinged multiple times to the backing board. Due to the found nature of the cardboard, there are 8 hard creases and some tears at the edges, particularly along the top and at four other areas. There is a soft puncture in the right eye of the figure, again likely due to the found nature of the materials. There is some unever texture and paint application of the white acrylic ground, likely due to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
