This work is in very good condition overall. There is very light evidence of handling along the edges. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's chosen medium and working method. The lateral edges of the sheet are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in the four corners and along the edges. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.

"The strongest thing about my work, if I may say this, is the fact that I chose to enoble the ordinary. My contemporaries were already making their monuments...I'm not terrified of changing - in fact, I'm terrified of exactly the opposite. If you're not moving, then you're heading to rot."
Robert Rauschenberg
