Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some discoloured adhesive above the top two corners of the map collage and a few handling marks in places to the bottom and top corners, and at the lower left corner of the map collage. All of the above is inherent to the artist's working process.
