Condition
There are three horizontal cracks in the wood in the upper left corner extending from the left edge, the longest being 8 in long. There are two additional horizontal cracks further down the left egde and several extending from the right edge. All of these cracks may be inherent to the nature of the wood. The work consists of two horizontal pieces of wood on which the collages have been placed. There appear to be several spots of inpainting along the white area of the circle in the upper left corner. Under ultra violet light the white areas of the work fluoresce which is most likely consistent with the pigment used by artist. Overall this work appears to be in stable and very good condition.
