Condition
This work is in good condition overall. All of the collage elements are well intact. There is evidence of glue residue, particularly in the collaged canvas elements, inherent to the artist's working method. There is yellowing to the paper collage noted in the upper central area of the composition. The edges of the collaged canvas elements are frayed, also due to the artist's working method. There is a fine surface scratch noted in the lower right. There is light wear to the artist's frame. Framed in an artist's frame.
