Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artists working method. The collaged paper is secure and the sheets of paper are all securely joined. There are multiple artists pinholes scattered in each corner and intermittently along the edges. There is an inconsistency in texture to the charcoal in the upper right corner, possibly inherent to the artists working method. Under very close inspection and under raking light, a few minor surface abrasions are visible in the upper portion of the sheet. The sheet is hinged verso the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
