Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The reverse of each of the backing boards are consecutively lettered A through E (which correspond with the five vertical rows) and 1 through 10 (which correspond with horizontal rows). These inscriptions are for the proper installation of the work and are as the work appears in the catalogue. Each photograph is in its original frame and only one (D1) was removed for closer inspection; therefore, any nuances or inconsistencies to the prints are presumably inherent to the artistic process. The frames are all in generally fine condition overall, only a few exhibiting scattered and unobtrusive spot abrasions and/or nicks. There are no apparent condition problems with this work.
