Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age and the bottom edge of the sheet is slightly deckled. The collaged elements are all stable and the colors are bright and fresh. There are a few minor and unobtrusive scuffs to the paper in the upper corners and at the center of the left edge and the lower right corner is dogeared. Under close inspection, a minor graphite-mark and partial dent to the beige-painted canvas, a pinpoint hole in the lower left quadrant and a small, light brown drip accretion along the lower left edge are visible. The sheet is mounted to Masonite and framed in a Plexiglas box.
