Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There are scattered accretions throughout the surface of the work which are inherent to the artist's working method. There are water marks scattered across the surface of the work, most noticeably in the bottom middle quadrant within the three dark brown and grey sections slightly to the right of the middle of the sheet. These water marks are possibly inherent to the artist's working method. There is a slight undulation to the edges of the sheet. The work is hinged verso to the matte in all four corners, with an exposed backing which reveals a second composition and the artist's signature. Framed under Plexiglas on both sides.
