Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they fail to convey the metallic quality of the gold spraypaint visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The card is float-mounted to the backing board. Extremely close inspection reveals some light and unobtrusive wear to all four corner tips and a minute and unobtrusive speck of loss towards the centre of the left edge.
