Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the three dimensional nature of the collage visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. The plastic sheet is attached along the upper edge, and both sheets are secured with photo corners in all four corners verso to the mount. All surface irregularities are likely to be original.
