Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The two side edges age deckled. There is evidence of wear and handling to the sheet, including scattered media smudges and accretions, handling marks and a drip at the bottom center of the sheet, which appear to be inherent to the artist's working method and process. There are two slight indentations at the top corners from the hinge. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
