This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the edges, including evidence of adhesive residue which is visible near the center of the top edge. There are artist pinholes in all four corners. The sheet is undulated and under very close inspection, there are a few scattered pinpoint brown spot accretions visible on the sheet, most notably 13 inches from the bottom edge and 14 inches from the right edge. The sheet is hinged intermittently along the edges verso to the mat. Framed under Plexiglas.
