Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in multiple locations. The edges are unevenly cut and there is evidence of a soft undulation throughout. There is some lifting of the collage elements, most noticeably at the top right corner and intermittently along the ledge edge of the sheet. The structural paint is intact. There is some light surface dust along the peaks of the structural paint. Framed under glass.
