Condition

These works are in very good condition overall. Each work is comprised of 2 sheets of paper that are joined at the top with tape, and hinged on the reverse at the top to the backing board. A few of the hinges are slightly loose though stable. The sheets softly undulate. Under close inspection, there is some minor rubbing to the graphite due to the artist's choice of medium. There are some faint, scattered accretions to the sheets. Not examined out of their frames. Framed under Plexiglas.
