Condition

The works are in very good condition overall. The sheets are taped to the mounts at several places. There is evidence of scattered minor creases across the surface of the works, presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Except for work i, the other four works were not examined out of the frames. Each print has New City Editions blindstamp.
