Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corners, lower right corner, centre of the right edge and centre of the upper edge of the main sheet, and a few further pinholes to the collaged papers. All surface irregularities appear to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
