Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. There is some evidence of light wear around the edges and to the corners. Very close inspection reveals extremely small and unobtrusive tears along the lateral and lower edges. Further close inspection reveals an extremely small paper loss on the right edge 5 inches from the bottom. This work is hinged verso to the matte in three places along the upper and lateral edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
