Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges of the board, most notably a small loss at the top edge towards the right. Various smudges, media accretions surface abrasions appear inherent to the artist's working method. The collaged elements are all intact and some glue residue is visible. Under very close inspection, some minor and pinpoint losses are visible at the edges of the red collaged element. Framed in a Plexiglas box. Please note this work has not been inspected outside of its box.
