Condition
This work is very good condition overall. The collaged elements are stable and secure. There are minor and unobtrusive pencil marks in the white margin that appear to be inherent to the artist's working method. There is a small 1/4 inch loss to the skin of the supporting board which is covered by the matte located 1 inch from the bottom edge and 1 ½ inch from the right edge. Additionally, the light blue element at the bottom right area exhibits scattered pinpoint light brown spots. In the top right corner there is a very minor 1 inch area of discoloration in the white surface. Scattered areas of the composition exhibit creases in the collaged elements which are inherent to the artist's working method. This work is hinged verso to the matte at the top two corners. Framed under Plexiglas..
