Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges. The colors are bright and fresh. There is a circular crack to the light green painted area in the lower right and a few minor hairline cracks to the adjacent white and light yellow painted areas, with one minor spot of loss in the light yellow area. The collaged gauze and tape elements all appear stable and the inconsistencies to the surface appear to be the result of the artistÂ’s intent and chosen medium. The area of dried wax in the lower left is flaking slightly but appears stable. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
