Condition
The sheet is affixed to a backing card with two tabs of adhesive tape along the upper edge, of which the right has come loose. The left tip of the upper left purple collage element has slightly lifted but otherwise all collaged pieces appear secure. The sheet undulates slightly, in keeping with the Artist's working methods. There is a historic and repaired tear to the lower right corner, with some associated creases, with further minor creases to the upper left corner and the upper right edge, largely not visible in the present frame. There is a scuff to the left edge towards the lower left corner with a small number of further very faint scuffs elsewhere. There are a few scattered minor flecks of staining. Subject to the above, the work appears in very good overall condition. The work is not mounted and held behind glass in a stained wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
