Condition
The work is in very good condition overall. The work is double sided. The sheet is comprised of multiple sheets adhered together. Due to this there is some evidence of the seams of the sheets and the edges of the overall sheet is uneven, due to the artist's working method. The sheet is deckled on all sides. There is general creasing throughout the work, due to the artist's choice of medium. There are a few minor tears and some light surface soiling. There are pin-holes along the top and bottom, likely from prior installation. The sheet undulates slightly.
