Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is brighter. The catalogue illustration does not accurately convey the collage aspect. Please note that the work has been inspected framed. Inherent to the technique, the overall surface presents some imperfections such as artist pinholes and traces of glue. The cream area in the centre presents some tiny foxing spots. The pink area on the left and right side of the work present some networks of hairline cracks visible upon close inspection. This work is in very good condition.
