Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the collaged photograph is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. All collaged elements are stable. Very close inspection reveals some hairline tension cracks along the lower edge, as well as some faint and unobtrusive handling marks along the lower half of the left edge. There is a faint impression of bubble wrap to the oil paint surface. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
