Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The creasing to the fabric and frayed edges are inherent to the artist's chosen medium and the way they have been irregularly cut, collaged and screened are inherent to the artist's working method. The collaged brown paper appears to have darkened with age and spots of glue residue are visible. There are artist pinholes at upper right and left corners, from which the work hangs on the wall. Unframed. Please note the auction begins at 9:00 am on November 12th.
