Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet has discolored slightly with age. All smudging and variety in texture and tone appear inherent to the artist's intent and working method. The collaged elements are stable. Framed in Plexiglas box.
