Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. Visible only upon extremely close inspection are a few of the extreme corner tips of the photographs which are lifting very slightly. The photographs are lightly faded, which is consistent with the natural ageing process of the photographs.
