Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The top and bottom edges are deckled. There are artist's pinholes in all four corners. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. There are light and scattered unobtrusive spot accretions. There are light spots in the bottom center and at the left edge of the sheet where the media has smudged as part of the artist's process. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte, intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
