Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the edges, most notably at the bottom left corner where a crease is visible. There are artist's pinholes in the top left and right corners. There is a very slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artist's working method and chosen materials. Close inspection reveals a few, scattered soft creases to the sheet. All collaged elements are well intact. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
