Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some light surface soiling throughout. There is variation to the surface, including creasing, undulation, and some collage elements that are slightly lifting, due to the artist's working method. There is some evidence of adhesive residue and dripping throughout. There is some pale time-staining to the collage elements and some minor wear to the corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
