Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges and some glue residue visible on the collaged elements. There are scattered media accretions and light surface abrasions, presumably from the time of execution. A small area of the orange collaged element has minor creased, which appears to be original and as a result of the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
