Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is laid down to the backing board. The left edge of the sheet is perforated, due to the artist's choice of medium. The colors are rich and vibrant. There is some minor distortion to the lower left corner of the sheet. There are a few small areas of pigment loss in the upper central green pigment and in the upper right area of the large blue 'X.' Framed under glass.
