Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The collage elements are secure. The surface/paint layer is stable overall. As seen in the catalogue illustration, handling marks are visible along all edges of the canvas. Additionally, there is rubbing/minor frame abrasion to the corners of the canvas. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs; however, this is inherent to the paint/materials selected by the artist.
