Acquired directly from the artist

Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the backing board in all four corners. There are very light handling creases and slight undulation throughout. The top edge is uneven, inherent to the artist's working process. There is a very small tear below the centre of the extreme right hand edge. There are two further minute tears to the extreme left hand edge, one towards the top corner and one towards the centre.
