Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. There are artist pinholes in all four corners with associated faint circular impressions from the type of pin used to secure the sheet. Along the bottom edge, there are bits of errant media affixed to the sheet, likely from the time of execution. There is a slight undulation to the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
