Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The sheet has yellowed slightly with age and there are fine creases in the sheet, primarily at the corners. Additionally, there is a 1/2 inch area, located 3 1/2 inches from the top edge and 2 inches from the left edge which appears to be a repair to the surface of the paper but which does not extend through to the reverse of the sheet. The work is hinged verso to the matte at the corners and framed under Plexiglas.
