Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the sheet tends more towards a soft cream in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the three dimensional nature of the collaged element. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The upper and right edges are deckled. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. Extremely close inspection reveals some very light, minor discolouration along the extreme upper edge.
