Condition

These works are in very good condition overall. There are artist pinholes at the four corners of each sheet. The sheets exhibit a slight undulation and a few scattered soft handling creases. Many Dogs exhibits a ½ inch loss to the sheet along the left edge 1 ½ inches from the top edge which is presumably the result of the artist having torn the sheet from a notepad. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at intervals along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
