Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is light evidence of handling along the edges and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
