The sheet appears to be adhered to a foam board at intervals along the edges and at the corners but is not laid down. The board is in turn affixed to a backing mount. The sheet undulates slightly in places, in keeping with the Artist's materials and working methods. The upper, lower and right edges are deckled and the left edge has been neatly cut, in keeping with the Artist's working methods. The extreme lower right corner is rounded with associated creases, with one or two instances of further, more minor creases to the lower and right extreme edges. There are one or two instances of studio matter in places. Subject to the above, the work appears in excellent overall condition. The work is float mounted and held behind glass in a painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
