Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Some of the edges of the collage elements are lifting very slightly, but all are well intact. The right side of the panel is irregularly cut, due to the artist's working method and there is some light wear to the corners. The collaged post cards exhibit some fading to the printed color and show minor signs of wear due to the found nature of the materials. There is adhesive residue evident around the perimeter of the collaged elements as well as some discoloration visible in the postcards caused by the adhesive. Unframed.
