Condition
These works are in good condition overall. There is a vertical, hard crease in the center of both sheets, due to the found nature of the materials, which were originally part of a leger. There are some very minor associated losses to the sheets along this center crease, again due to the nature of the materials. There is pale time staining particularly toward the edges and light surface soiling throughout.There are a few smudges to the applied medium, due to the artist's working method. There are a few scattered points of foxing. Each sheet undulates slightly. Each is separately framed under Plexiglas.
