Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The collaged sheets are adhered on the reverse to the backing board in various locations. There is evidence of minor adhesive lifting. There are holes to the sheet in the top left and right corners and at the center left quadrant approximately 3 inches from the center left edge. There is a strong horizontal crease running through the top quadrant and a very soft crease in the bottom left corner of the sheet. There is evidence of faint smudges add handling to the sheets due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
