Condition
This work is in excellent condition. This work is comprised of cut and well-adhered pasted paper, the primary sheet being 8 ¼" wide, and two additional horizontal strips measuring 2 ¼ and 1" wide. The reverse exhibits a 9" strip of clear tape attaching the large sheet with the middle strip. There is some minor undulation in a few places to the sheets, consistent with the nature of the medium. There are artist's pinholes at all four corners and at some of the overlapping corners of the strips. The sheet is hinged at both corners along the top edge and mounted on ragboard in a blonde wood frame under Plexiglas.
