Condition

Panel is stable. Collage element undulates slightly; this is inherent to the artist's practice. There is some minor rubbing to the extreme edges of the board and the surface is slightly dirty. There are a few minor vertical breaks in the newspaper collage element with some lifting at the lower right. Two nailhead-sized brown stains are visible in the upper right corner. Overall the work is in very good condition.
