Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The collaged elements are stable and secure, though there is minimal lifting of a few of the collaged elements at the extreme bottom edge. There is a slight buckling of the canvas at the top left corner. Additionally, there is light stable craquelure and scattered unobtrusive surface accretions. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the work. Under ultra violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
