Acquis auprès du précédent en 1973
Condition
Executed on beige card, not laid down. The card is fixed to the over-mount along the upper and lower edges and in the centre. The edges are slightly irregular. A close inspection reveals four artist's pinholes and two tiny nicks to the surface towards the lower edge, partially covered by the red collage paper and almost certainly inherent to the artistic process. There are some old glue stains and light surface abrasion towards the centre of the left edge. Apart from some light frame abrasion and time-staining, this work is in very good original condition.
