Condition

The collaged elements appear sound and securely attached to the board, which also appears sound. The edges of the board are slightly uneven, thought to be in keeping with the Artist's materials, and there are several very tiny specks of loss to the white pigment at the centre of the upper edge. There are a few light instances of surface dirt and studio detritus, otherwise subject to the above the work appears to be in excellent overall condition. Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is presented in a black painted wooden frame, held under glass.
