Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the image does not accurately convey the collaged elements. The sheet is free and there are some remnants of tape on the back. There are few faint creases located on the upper left corner, and a faint wear mark on the upper right. Two of the collaged white elements present a faint fold mark. There are three artist's pinholes visible. This work is in very good original condition..
