Condition
This sequence of 6 laminated Cibacrome prints is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain vibrant and saturated, with no apparent fading. Upon close inspection, the following can be seen on most of the prints: some minor soiling overall; some very thin surface scratches that are only visible in raking light; occasional deposits of indeterminate nature; and a few raised areas to the laminate surface. The corners are bumped and lifting from the mount. There are some fingerprints on the smoked aluminum sides. When examining the work installed, the lower right corners of panels 2 and 3 may not lie completely flush with the wall. The aforementioned are very subtle and do not affect the overall visual impact of this sequence photographs.
