Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The framed work from "The Blimp (A)" appears to have smudges along the edges of the work, which is inherent to the artist's working method. The bottom edge of the framed work on paper from "Mathilda Mother (E)" has a bottom edge which is perforated, which is also inherent to the artist's working method. Both are hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges and framed under Plexiglas. Both canvases appear clean and have areas of drawing in colored pencil and permanent marker. Under ultraviolet light inspection neither canvas shows signs of restoration. Both canvases are unframed.
