Condition
The edges of the collaged semi-circles have been roughly cut, and some are frayed. There are various white flecks of media staining to the black and red semi-circles. A frayed red string of canvas has been coiled up and stuck to the surface in the upper right quadrant. It would appear that all of these features are consistant with the artist's hand. However, there is a diagonal line within the lower left quadrant, and a small horizontal line within the central white semi-circle, that appear to be media staining inconsistant with the artist's work. Presented in a white wooden frame. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no evidence of retouching.
