Not Vital

This work is in good condition overall. There are artist's pinholes in the 4 corners. The top and bottom edges are deckled. There is wear, pigment loss and evidence of minor tears along the extreme edges of the paper that are not visible in frame. There are several pronounced creases and the sheet undulates slightly, due to the artist's choice of medium and working method. There are scattered pinholes along the top and bottom edges, likely from prior installation. Framed under glass.
