Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although it fails to fully convey the neon qualities of the neon strips visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. The card is mounted verso to the backing board in numerous places.There are artist's pinholes in isolated places throughout and all collaged elements are stable. The acetate undulates slightly and is slightly discoloured, which is in keeping of the artist's choice of medium. Extremely close inspection reveals a few nicks, tears and creases to the extreme edges of the card and some drying cracks to the paint in places.
