Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background of the photostat is a true white and there is much more contrast in the photograph in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The photostat and photograph have been refabricated by the artist. All surface irregularities to the frame are inherent to the artist's choice of found medium.
