Condition

Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the black feathers are deeper and richer in the original and it fails to convey the sculptural quality of the feathers. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in all four corners. All four edges are deckled and all collaged elements are stable. Close inspection reveals some unobtrusive fraying to some of the feathers which is in keeping with the artist's choice of organic materials.
