Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the texture of the collaged elements, apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. the collage is attached to a card backing board. Over time the sheet and the tape around the edges of the work have discoloured slightly and there are a few scattered additional spots of discolouration around the margins of the sheet.
