Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The edges of the masonite board are worn and uneven. The collaged paper is torn irregularly, as is inherent to the artist's working method, and the edges of the papers are curled up in spots and appear to have discolored slightly with age. There are spots of possible paint loss visible under close inspection. Framed under glass.
