Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear to artists wooden frame including some minor chipping at the top. All of the collaged elements are intact and stable but the cardboard by the figures elbow and cardboard at the top of the left figures shoulder are lifting slightly. There are areas of adhesive and cardboard residue visible in the figures' faces and in the center below the right figure's face, presumably inherent to the artists intent and working method. There is a minor lifted tear in the paper at the figures elbow. There are scattered light surface abrasions to the Plexiglas, also presumably inherent to the artists working method. Framed in artists frame.
