Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the three dimensionality of the top section done in aluminium.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to the extreme edges of the composition, and light lifting to the newsprint collage heads on the left half of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
