Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although it fails to fully convey the reflective qualities of the mirrored background.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a small number of hairline scratches to the areas of collage, which look to be original from the printing process. Further inspection reveals a number of tiny pieces of glass that have fallen to the bottom of the frame.
