Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the orange tends more towards a light pink in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable and secure. Close inspection reveals some minor skinning to the lower left edge, and a few creases towards the lower left corner tip. The adhesive residue has yellowed slightly overtime.
