Condition
Executed on a paper exhibition programme, not laid down and attached to the mount in all four corners. Recto: The pink and red gouache has lightly faded and the programme is time stained. There are a few tiny spots of foxing in places. Verso: There are some losses to the sheet, notably to the lettering which may have been part of the artist's intention and some skinning to the sheet in the lower left corner. Each corner has some minor residue from former mounting. Overall this work is in good condition.
