Condition
These works are in very good condition overall. The collage elements are stable. The elements each present some evidence of wear, handling, and minor areas of pigment loss due to the artist’s choice of found materials. In some instances, there is soiling to the surface, also inherent to the found nature of the works. These works are all unframed with the exception of the two owls.
