Condition
Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. There is an artist's pinhole to the upper left corner. All collaged elements are stable. Very close inspection reveals some glue residue in places which is original and in keeping with the artist's use of media. Further close inspection reveals some light discoloration to the upper and lower right corners, as well as some superficial skinning to the upper right corner. There are some drying cracks to the ink. All other surface irregularities, tears, losses and handling marks are original and in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media.
