Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is pale time staining to each sheet and very subtle undulation noted. All of the collage elements are well intact. There is some minor discolored adhesive residue evident associated with the collaged elements. There is some smudging to the applied charcoal medium on each sheet. Each element is framed under Plexiglas in the artist's chosen frame. The corners of the frames are reinforced with adhesive tape.
