Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges underneath the frame, resulting in some minor paint loss at the edges. There is also very minor glue residue around the collaged elements, which is inherent to the artist's working method. One collaged element at the figure's arm is slightly creased. The sheet is mounted to board. Framed under Plexiglas.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
