Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is slightly undulated, consistent with the artist's use of medium. The edges of the paper are deckled. The purple area extending into the lower right corner presents some scattered dust particles to the surface. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
