Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the coloured areas of the printed paper are slightly brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. Close inspection reveals slight discolouration to the outer edges and handling creases and folds in several places on each sheet, all of which is in keeping with the artistÂ’s choice of found material. There are glue marks in a few places within the black figures, likely to be inherent to the collaged nature of the composition.
