Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in several places. All collaged elements are stable and secure. The edges are slightly irregular where the sheet has been cut and torn. Extremely close inspections reveals a few unobtrusive spots of foxing to the large sheet of paper.
