Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. Very close inspection reveals some light handling marks and some minute nicks to all four extreme edges, tiny dog ears and some associated wear to all four extreme corner tips and a tiny splash accretion to the extreme bottom right hand corner tip. Further close inspection reveals two faint and short scuffs; one to the bottom of the artist's signature and one to the centre right of the top edge. Further close inspection reveals two very small spots of yellowing to the lower centre of the right hand edge and a small cluster of media spots towards the top left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
