Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse at the top to the backing board. The sheet is unevenly cut along the right ad bottom edges, due to the artist's working method. The collaged element is held to the sheet by 2 staples at the top. There is a very small 1/4 in tear at the lower right edge of the sheet. There is light surface soiling and evidence of handling to the sheet, due to the artist's working method. Framed under glass.
