Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The bottom and left edges of the sheet have been cut irregularly by the artist and the bottom edge is partially deckled. There is slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artists working method. There are a few small and minor partial tears along the left edge that are obscured by the top matte. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under very close inspection, faint creases are visible in all four corners. Under raking light, a few minor and unobtrusive light abrasions are visible in the background. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the top edge. Framed under Plexiglas.
Please note that this work is accompanied by a registration card issued by the Yayoi Kusama Studio.
