Condition

This work is in good condition overall. Each work is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. Each paper collage's layers are adhered along the top edge only. There is pale time-staining, slight fading, and darkening around the cut edges throughout. Some works have a few minor tears to the sheet and some wear to the edges and corners. There is light scattered surface soiling and a few pin-point accretions. Each framed under Plexiglas.
