Condition
These works are in good condition overall. There are artist pinholes in the corners of both sheets. The edges of the sheets are deckled. There is a slight undulation to both sheets. Each sheet is affixed to its mat at 4 corners of its verso. There is a minor loss at the lower right corner of work 'i', which is presumably inherent to the work. There are some flecks of pigment loss at the colored areas in the lower quadrants on work 'ii', which are only noticeable under close inspection. Both works are framed under Plexiglas.
