Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and the paper tone tends more towards a soft cream in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount. All collaged elements are stable. Close inspection reveals evidence of charring to the edges of the collaged elements, which is original and in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media.
