Condition

Executed on blue, yellow and red paper on cardboard, fixed to the mount at the four corners with transparent hinges. There are some creases to the extreme right of the red paper with a few other on the blue and black papers and on the cardboard, notably along the upper edge and at the lower left corner. There is a repaired tear with some blue pigment in the lower part of the blue paper, most probably inherent to the artistic process. Apart from two minor scuffs to the lower part of the black paper, this work is in good condition.
