Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some faint surface soiling. All of the collage elements are intact. There is some light wear to the pigment on the wood block in the upper right of the composition. There is a crack in the wood collage element at the center when it has been nailed to the backing board. There are additional nail holes in the wood collage elements, due to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
