Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the edges to mat board. The bottom edge is torn and there is evidence of wear and creasing throughout the envelope, inherent to the nature of the found medium. There is evidence of discoloration in the corners of the sheet from apparent former tape residue. There are light smudges in the background and scattered fingerprints, also inherent to the time of execution and the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
