Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. There are two spot accretions 1 5/8 in. from the top and 7 in. right edge. To the upper right center of the orange section there is a small area of flaking with resultant loss. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the top and bottom edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
