Condition
This free-standing photographic work is in generally very good condition. It is flush-mounted to thick foamcore, and there is some wear to the edges of the cutout print and backing. Upon close examination, small scratches, scuffs, and impressions are visible overall. This is not immediately apparent and does not detract in a meaningful way from the striking visual impact of this 3-dimensional photographic object.
This free-standing work is affixed at the bottom to a wooden support.
