Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. The sheet has discolored slightly with age with a pale band that has not discolored running along the edges. There are some faint creases and staining throughout the sheet, particularly in the upper left and right corners and upper edge where the paper has been in contact with a previous top matte. There is an old adhesive along the verso of the sheet which is slightly visible in the lower recto of the sheet but is obscured by the top matte. The sheet is hinged recto to the matte intermittently along the upper edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
