This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at all four corners and there are artist's pinholes at the top two corners. The sheet is slightly time stained and there is a slight undulation with associated minor creasing to the sheet throughout. The corners of the sheet are slightly dulled and there is evidence of wear and handling to the edges, resulting in a few minor tears and losses to the sheet along the perimeter, particularly along the top edge. Under close inspection, the magenta ink is slightly faded and there are a few, unobtrusive scattered pinpoint surface accretions. Framed under Plexiglas.
