Condition
This work is in good condition overall having recently benefited from surface conservation by Wilson Cinservation LLC. The collage elements appear stable and secure. There is some evidence of wear and scattered abrasions throughout the surface and along the outer frame. There is evidence that the paint layer has lifted and flaked in some areas, notably in the central box element located 36 in. from the left edge and 40 in. from the bottom. These areas were professionally addressed and stablilized during the recent cleaning. There are surface nuances which are inherent to the medium and the artist's working method. There is some visible dust residue on the surface.
