Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of some minor handling with a few nicks and chips, particularly on the tops of the jars, consistent with the artistÂ’s choice of found material. The printed paper elements exhibit some light fading to the color. There is some creasing and minor tears to the edges of the printed paper, particularly in the 3rd jar from the right as illustrated. The painted lids show some minor pigment losses and scattered scratches. The paper lid on the largest jar has some minor wear and creasing.
