Condition
These works are in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheets are deckled on all sides and 3 of the works have artist's pinholes at the 4 corners. The sheets exhibit a slight undulation, which is inherent to the artist's working method and choice of medium. Each sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board, intermittently along the edges and each is framed under Plexiglas.
