Condition
Executed on the reverse of a cream-coloured card poster. The work is sandwiched between its mount. The collage elements are stable. Some creasing and scattered old glue stains in places, notably in the green and orange collage elements, which are inherent to the artist's technique. There are a few artist's pinholes scattered throughout. Some surface scuffing and associated fine scratches and tiny repaired tears which may be original, notably at the centre of the composition in the purple background and to the centre left of the green element. Some light time-staining, notably in the cream coloured wove paper, and minor handling marks. Two small medium stains at the centre and right of the lower edge. This work is in fair overall condition.
