Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. There is evidence of wear to all four corner tips and extreme outer edges with a small number of associated minute tears, all of which are likely to be original. Close inspection reveals some very faint rub marks in places and a tiny corner of one of the collaged sheets that is lifting slightly from the surface. All other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's working process.
